You just revealed yourself to be a complete idiot and likely someone who doesn’t pay taxes ergo why you aren’t concerned with having your stolen taxes returned, because you never paid any.

I wish that was the case. It’s probable that I pay more in taxes than you gross in a year.

Even so, I care more about improving the big picture than my own personal pocket. I’d rather our country take a much needed first step towards undoing the leverage we’ve been saddled with related to the debt and deficit (these are related, but separate issues). But, keep making it all about you you you and see how far that gets you in life.

If you don't believe that's what they are working on doing right now, then where do you think this $5,000 is going to come from?

I think it’s a mistake right now to do, I would rather see it go to balance the national debt myself. I would rather see the Trump administration seize and defund all these democratic/globalist slush funds and destroy that satanic party for ever.


I am torn with the debt level at $32.3 Trillion whats 5K per. Its like a BB hitting a battleship. It would take a massive rise in real GDP not this debt fueled crap of the last 4 years- but a real and serious boast in productivity. Maybe AI can help with that. We'll see.

And then you still have to cut spending in a big way which will decrease Gov contribution to GDP which is usually very inefficient anyway.

We have dug a nasty hole for ourselves with no easy way out

And you are a moron for not knowing Elon, Treasury Sec, Trump aren't stupid.

They wouldn't do it unless they knew that our 36 trillion in debt can be wiped. Their historical reputations are at stake. They are not dumb. A $5000 DD into Americans accounts would land around midterms.

We still haven't even cleaned out all gov waste and abuse. They already SAVED SS. This was Paul Ryan's spiel that it was bankrupt, and he wanted to pump more money in with more slush that is monopoly money- and cut it and raise the age.

We also have not sent Chynah a bill for Covid.

So, Elon wouldn't decide with Trump unless they knew we were good. Congress Critters ideas mean nothing they are worthless. How long before they frick it all up again when we have no debt?

They dream in omnibus. They were the whores with the purse and never did their jobs-so they can STFU for a bit.

You aren’t getting $5000. Any savings from gutting institutions and programs and will be given back to the wealthy via tax breaks. Deficit isn’t going down.

Yeah because it’s a dumb idea. They should reduce the deficit like they said they would

You’re asking the wrong person. I doubt SDV could even spell GDP.

People need to get it through their head this isn't a government handout. This is STOLEN taxpayer money that was/is used to fund politicians pet projects. Republicans and Democrats both STOLE your money.

Well said and anyone who doesn’t first want their money back is either cucked beyond help or didn’t contribute in the first place. Maybe both.
