Give $5000
While this would be nice for some folks, stimulating the economy while the inflation rate is rising again strikes me as a reckless idea.

It's a stupid idea. Cut spending and taxes. Sending checks increased inflation and the deficit

Bravo Race. We found common ground. Now get rid of Elon and have a real auditing team with oversight and we can proceed forward.
-
Fuck off

Yep definetly against that. Dollar for dollar, it would be inflationary but less inflationary than the stimulus payments though. Stimulus was funded by creating a bigger deficit. DOGE dividend would be funded by actual cuts, so it wouldn’t be printing new money just repurposing existing money that has already been printed. Which would just be spent on new TV’s and shit.

Whatever waste is cut from the federal government should be used as a reason to shrink the government, lower taxes, and balance a budget for once. People whining about unnecessary federal jobs being cut, or frivolous spending being curtailed, when there was close to a $2 trillion deficit is so absurd it defies logic for all but the stupid.
Don’t like the plan for payments, wasn’t a fan when Bush did the $1200 but did spend it on a trip to Vegas.
Let me have more of my money by lowering taxes and reigning in federal spending, and I’m all in on that approach.
Not worth crying about it either way. though, as the child Spaz is doing.
-
So….we have precedent for this. What was the result of the budget when Trump first gave out tax cuts? How did he do at reducing the deficit?
-
The "real auditing team" got fired for letting this shit go on or not finding this shit happening!
-
Trump didn’t “give out” tax cuts, Retarded Spaz. Congress passed them. Unfortunately, to get RINO votes, concessions were made that put an expiration date on them.
Uniparty loves confiscating my money.

Imagine being dumb enough to vote for Obama again. Cucky might not have been old enough to vote for that commie shit bag fag but he is now!

Return of stolen property is never a reckless idea.

Even when I agree with Democrats, they say something dumb like this and make me look stupid by association, too.
“I don’t know what $5000 would do for you.”
JFC these people are so out of touch with real people. Their party is imploding and elitism is a large part why.

If they could means test that 5 grand I might reconsider based on Bob's point that it comes from savings. There are people that could use it and they would spend it back into the economy
It would be best if we slashed spending and taxes for everyone
Keep in mind this audit is only phase 1. Congress right now is debating the budget and the GOP can still fumble the ball and likely will
Spending has to be cut. The audit has shown that not every last single penny is sacred and untouchable

Yes, H’s “fuck the poors” who he pretends to care about only when it’s politically convenient for him.
Jasmine Crockett said it out loud and now she’s blocking everyone on X who calls her out on it.
-
Jasmine also wants reparations so she is just another retard
-
The Dems are so leaderless and off-message that somebody put this woman on TV tell American taxpayers, less than 2 months to April 15th, that $5000 won’t help anyone.
Im not an advocate of this refund without more information, but this is what the Democrats think about the general public.
Trump and rational thinking has completely made these Democrats bonkers.
-
You realize Trump inherited tax receipts of less than $3.3 trillion and had them close to $3.5 trillion by the end?

Jasmine “Let the eat cake” Crockett

I love it when MAGA posts Crockett vids out of nowhere.
Maybe she is the One?I don't know enough about her yet but there's chatter.

Big Ern/AOC 2028

Means test it and require it go against ballooning consumer debt is another option if we want to send it but not be inflationary. I’m against it but get the optics that we want people to see direct benefit of DOGE. Would obviously prefer that it just goes against deficit and get bond rates under control.
-
Celebrating mental illness is no longer an option.

-
I'm fine with both AOC and Jasmine being the next ticket

There's an argument that it won't be inflationary as your just swapping G for C.
-
Maybe they can fire up the old Arthur Anderson brand.
-
opinions on how much it would affect inflation vary.
Inflation has ALWAYS been an M2/GDP calculation and this would not affect M2. Do Christmas bonus checks affect inflation? Not materially, because it doesn’t increase M2.
you know what increases M2? Printing 100s of billions of dollars to fund foreign wars and green energy grifts with nothing behind it.This would be a re-distribution of existing money from government agencies to tax-paying citizens.
all that said I’d much rather see it go to taking down some debt. -
She is the new Batshit leader
-
Perhaps you’re out of touch hero Crockett shouldn’t say out loud that $5000 won’t help anyone.
It’s the perfect statement for how out of touch you on the far Left are with reality.
-
Smart explanation 👌
From what Musk said they're proposal is that 20% would be cash returns to tax payers while 20% would go against the debt with the rest going towards balancing the budget.
They want to continue proof of concept and take that to the bond markets basically to get rates to decline. I'd bet with adults in charge that could happen which would further help to balance the budget as the cost on interest goes down.
As you said, this is essentially a tax return. It's only inflationary if they borrow to fund it.
I worry that there are a lot of spinning plates in the economy currently and just one coming down could cause a lot of others to drop. Inflation and the job market are both looming. That could derail a lot of this.

Gop congress not cutting spending won't help
