DOGE doesnt have the authority to touch the budget. Its an advisory agency

I like to be stimulated financially. Hit me one more time Uncle Sam.

It’s not new printed money. It’s taxpayer money already in the economy.
It will stimulate the economy if spent and wont cause inflation.

In this scenario...how?
It may not have been spent, but it has been allocated and therefore “printed”. Unless they amended the budget or clawed back the money and “destroyed” it, it seems the damage is done as far as inflation goes. I however am not an economics guru and DID NOT stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

On paper.
Its not in the hands of consumers. Youre talking about dumping a trillion dollars into consumers hands at full employment.

Spending on a deficit creates new money right?

Thats not what causes these shocks that cause inflation.

Not me. If they're really only going to give it to taxpayers then it is exactly what is needed.

Which will cause inflation
What is the unemployment rate?

Only taxpayers should get it

When the Lib's sent people a check (from borrowed aka deficit money) it was called stimulating the economy, but when the other side returns unspent money it's called creating inflation........
So now we are cl;ear on that....

eah I don’t understand that talking point. The money is already in circulation. How would it cause inflation?

If the cash is already in the economy and it is clawed back and reallocated then there would be minimal if any inflation.
If the cash is doled out to the American people and not the "planned" recipients then the inflation would be the same as the planned.
If only a portion of the cash is doled out to Americans and some goes to paying down the debt the inflation would be lower than planned.
Paying down debt would put pressure on the bond markets to raise prices and force the floor for all interest rate products to decrease. The spread between 10 year note and interests rates will depend on how hot or cold a particular market is going.

Was removing the money from circulation part of the original plan?
You're asking if DOGE is supposed to be helping with our deficit-debt issues? Really?
Posted on 2/24/25 at 8:08 am to SlowFlowPro
Well no but does paying off debt remove money from circulation?
Eta I’m trying to have an honest discussion here….not throw gotchas at each other.

You are correct it would have less deflationary impact than removing the money from circulation. But you're trying to avoid the fact that this is money already in circulation. We wouldn't be creating a single new dollar to do this. And while it will likely cause some inflation in markets like Play Stations and cars it wouldn't be like creating that money out of whole cloth would be.
You know this of course but that's not a good argument if your TDS is reeeeeing at you.

Your thread deals in a hypothetical and I'm responding to the hypothetical
Just because you're being shown to be silly, don't try to create a digression of ad homs against me.

I'm not against it, they take your tax money to fund all this nonsense and have been doing it for a very long time. They fricking owe me alot more than 5k, why should I give them an interest free loan every year by paying taxes when they basically take my money and launder it. I wanna launder my own money idk about the rest. I'm all for it as long as it is not counted as income

I’m not sure the government can help us by sending us checks. I know they could help us by devaluing the currency constantly.
