Guess it must be an election year - politicians promising things they know have zero chance of ever becoming law.
An easier way to help taxpayers would be to give everyone a $5,000 tax credit. If you want to exclude to the top 5% or so for political show, the tax tables could be adjusted so it effectively does the same thing, with a credit claimable by those with a tax liability less than $5k. But since this is justified as a buy American goods campaign, it has to be complex instead of just helping (almost) everyone.
