US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that there are "ways" to implement the plan without increasing the deficit, but did not disclose specific cost-offset measures. She noted that the Treasury has studied this for "quite some time," and emphasized that "putting more money in Americans' pockets should be everyone's goal." House Speaker Mike Johnson said he had communicated with the President on this issue the previous night, but specific details have not yet been finalized, and it will take some time before the plan is implemented.
