See where Trump's $90 checks to 20 million seniors are going

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he plans to send $90 check to more than 20 million seniors this month.
The one-time payments are headed to most of the nation's seniors enrolled in Medicare B, spanning all 50 states, according to a White House breakdown of the payments reviewed by USA TODAY, with the most populated states receiving the most checks.
More than 1.52 million seniors in California are set to receive checks, tops among all states, followed by Texas (1.43 million); Florida (1.40 million); New York (1.02 million); and Pennsylvania (905,000). Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota and South Dakota are each in line to receive fewer than 100,000 checks apiece for seniors.
Among some of the closely contested Senate battleground states, 539,000 seniors will receive checks in Michigan; 644,000 seniors in North Carolina; 568,000 in Georgia; 327,000 in Iowa; 748,000 in Ohio; 88,000 in Maine; and 293,000 in Kansas.

You left this part out:

To fund the payments, the Trump administration is diverting money from the $2 billion Medicare Improvement Fund, which Congress created in 2008 to improve Medicare services. Trump called the fund a "pointless 'Slush Fund'" in a Truth Social post announcing the checks. The White House said the improvement fund has never been utilized.

So pay down the deficit by 2 billion, don't send out checks to people. Bill Gates will get a check too, why?

So it's on par with the population of those states. I don't see the issue here.

Because the fund was created to help those that need it. It was a slush fund created for the creators. Trump is giving it back to the funders rather than the creators. This is a major example of why the dnc is broke.

Are you as a democrat trying to complain about free handouts?

Instead of checks he should send them a bag of these.

why is he firing off checks all of a sudden?
hint - trying to buy his way out of the upcoming gop slaughter

Probably not approved for what you stated, per Congress, is my guess.
