It wasn’t his ideal. Some finance guy posted a video speaking about it, and Musk said he’d ask Trump.

It’s not a bad idea as most of it people will piss away and it will stimulate the economy. The US needs to keep pushing on energy and ai and every year have incentives for citizens.

I worry about inflation.

Reducing spending and getting a sane budget should be priority #1, worry about the rest after that is accomplished.

Just a reminder

If you took your COVID stimulus check and put it in DOGE Coin you'd half nearly half a million dollars

Per Claude.ai

quote:

Let me help analyze this scenario. Let me break this down step by step:

The first COVID stimulus check was $1,200 and was distributed in April 2020
Dogecoin's price in April 2020 was approximately $0.002

If you had invested the full $1,200 stimulus check in Dogecoin in April 2020, you would have gotten about 600,000 DOGE.
However, since my knowledge cutoff is April 2024, I can't tell you the exact current value of that investment today (February 2025). Instead, I'd encourage you to:

Check the current DOGE price on a cryptocurrency exchange
Multiply that price by 600,000 to get your current value

For context, Dogecoin has been extremely volatile - it reached an all-time high of about $0.74 in May 2021 (when that same investment would have been worth around $444,000), but has experienced significant fluctuations since then.

All taxpayers should get this. Plus it would be glorious to watch the left melt over this.

We are definitely getting some back but you should send yours back to go towards the debt

You dumb ghetto hoar, 95% of the clowns in your district probably don't make that in a month. I bet they would know what to do with it.
