Yes! And no direct deposit - send it as a beautiful physical cheque bearing a signature of Trump and Elon in Sharpie to trigger the Democrat filth

$100 billion in drones and drone technology is worth $2 trillion in 1990s military tech.

Hell no. Don’t give it back. Put it towards the deficit period. Any responsible government would make this a priority.

The frick. No way there are that many taxpayers in our country. There is quite a large segment of the population that doesn't pay taxes.

I'd love a check but man, i thought this was all about paying down the debt. I think whatever savings are realized need to be put towards the deficit.

It's about winning the midterms and keeping a full grip on power to have all 4 years of unfettered progress and hopefully a 7-2 (theoretically, anyway) SCOTUS advantage during Trump 2.0.

I bet you these will be timed to hit in August 2026 or somewhere around then.

Would be cool to send $2k this August and another $3k next August.

That debt is never being paid off. It will be reduced a little.. but that's it. Trump can absolutely kick arse this term, but as soon as anyone else becomes president, they will focus on expanding the government again. They will focus on splurging on dumb shite again.

And if the next president is a Democrat, then.. everything trump and Elon did regarding spending and saving will be undone with a few days. A lot of money will again be thrown at people who pay no taxes.


With that mindset, I'm fine with taxpayers finally catching a small break and getting a little money back. Because god knows we're going to be paying even more in taxes with future presidents, whether we get a small check now or not.

To the people shrieking:

This is a long way from happening. Would you rather they didn't consider all ideas openly? Maybe they should keep most secret and only let us hear about the heavily screened ones.

Some people are fricking morons.

Shouldn't we see an actual budget first, before trying to figure out where to spend the savings?

Balance the budget with the confiscated property and bank accounts from the thieves that stole our money.
