re: Republicans are slow walking not giving us the $5,000 that's been suggested by Trump.

A trillion dollars dumped on the economy will bump inflation, create temporary shortages. The only way to avoid is to release it monthly or biweekly.


That would work too. I think a lot of people would pay down debts.

The US doesn’t have $5K to give. It’s called debt.

Yeah, hopefully. But I suspect people would see it as a windfall and buy new shite.

You do see why dumping a trillion at once in this economy might cause inflation, right?

Given out over time I think you could possibly avoid the bumps.

I think you all are way overestimating the impact. $5,000 wouldn't even buy you a decent used car or two months rent. You could pay off some credit card debt or do some maintenance on your car or home.

Individually 5k isnt a lifechanger. Collectively, one trillion dumped into consumerism would cause issues.

Ok, so you don't consider that money stolen from the taxpayers. Got it.

Some. Much of it was paid for by debt, businesses, etc.

Trump has caused confidence to rise, encouraging increased spending leading to increased inflation, etc. Because of this, the Fed is considering raising rates again.

$5K to millions of people right now would be economic & political suicide. The one thing that can bring down President Trump is the economy. I’m wanting to know who suggested this idea. Fire him/her immediately. They’re a saboteur.

I've posted it at least 5 times in this thread. The people saying to trust Congress to pay down the debt with this money.

You can trust them this time, they're for real!

Yeah, so it should be based on actual taxes paid. If it's going to take a year and a half to implement anyway, calculate those numbers and refund us accordingly.

You have accounted for your share of the debt. You don’t have any money.

It needs to be a % amount of DOGE, so that people are tied to the success of it financially. A flat amount makes no sense. Make people want DOGE to succeed

After the Senate budget bill that just passed that doesn’t extend the tax cuts and increases the deficit, just give me my 5K. I don’t trust these RHINOS to do the right thing.

One of the benefits of the Ukraine War was it showed how deficient our stocks and manufacturing capacity are.

Better we find out now than while we can fix it instead of the middle of a war.

You might have a point if millions didn't get refund checks every year and you also have millions getting entitlement checks every month. A one time payment linked to building confidence in DOGE isn't even a ripple in the ocean of government theft at the expense of taxpayers.

You support RINOS. I'll support Trump.
