Will DOGE give Americans a $5000 stimulus?

[Votto]

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/elon-musk-mulls-giving-americans-165329483.html

Elon Musk says he “will check with the President” about an idea to issue refund checks from DOGE savings. Those checks could be as much as $5,000 per household if the department hits its $2 trillion savings goal.

It would make the most sense to do right before the midterms.

Ah, maybe pay off some of the $36 trillion in debt first that we are paying interest on. Also round up all the corrupt Dem leaders and strip them of their corrupt wealth. Leave them penniless and use that money to pay down the debt. Then punch a few Dems in the face just for good measure.

It's a way to try and win the midterms and keep the people happy.

Not sure they can tackle the inflation problem in 2 years no matter what they do

It took Reagan 4 years to get the Carter inflation under control

So, if they lose Congress in the midterms, kiss everything goodbye as the DNC will beat the impeachment drums 24/7 like last time

In fact, I bet they impeach him 3 times this go round.

It's not anything but giving folks back some of the money the .gov stole from them.

Pay down the debt and try and have a balanced annual budget.

Now Trumps tariffs, perhaps you split some of that up with citizens just before the mid-terms

If they don't plan on getting a handle on spending in general, I don't think it really matters.

Fuck that. I want $25k minimum

If the House democrats impeach Trump I bet Thune takes the paper and tears it up like Pelosi did Trump's SOTU speech.

$1000 or $2000 would still buy votes without causing inflation.

Upon further review, no, no, no, we can't BORROW MONEY TO GIVE TAX REBATES!!

That's what democrats do to buy votes. DOGE needs to cut spending, ALL SPENDING.

The last person a democrat would give money to is an American.

Americans are in debt.

Inflation + stimulus will help

^^^Maybe you'll get this

Democrats used the carrot of stimulus to get elected a few elections back offering I think around $1500. Then they proceeded to take it all back and then some with inflation, probably costing the average American an additional $10,000 and counting.

Weren't those Trump checks?

 

[Independent thinker]

Yeah, the point of cutting fraud and wasteful spending is to actually have savings, not to just spend the money all over again.

 

[imawhosure]

that might cause inflation

Not where it is coming from. It would come out of the 1 trillion they saved by the cuts.

Not when the stimulus is borrowed. Stimulus means buying more stuff made in China, duh.
