President Trump, hoping to salvage the midterm elections, makes a dubious pledge to give every U.S. adult $5,000 if GOP wins.
@AssociatedPress reports the proposal "would likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, and would further exacerbate the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit and concerns about inflation."
