frick paying down the debt with this recovery.

Until they cut spending significantly and permanently - NO!

They’ve ripped the tax payer off repeatedly and year after year. They’ve taken hundreds of thousands from me over my lifetime.

I owe nothing on a debt they’ve artificially conceived at my and your expense.

Figure it out, assholes.
They work for us not the other way around.

Cut me a check damnit or exempt me for next couple decades. You should feel the same.

This does nothing to reduce our national debt and will pour gasoline on the inflation fire.

So save money just to give it away in a political stunt? Sounds about right.

You can’t make this shite up. That’ll pay down the debt all right.

I'm all for people going to jail and paying down the national debt, but only as long as the abolition of the IRS is included. Enough of big government and corrupt politicians stealing the American taxpayers money.

Libs should show how devout their hatred for Trump and Elon is and protest these refunds by refusing them.

I dont like this idea at all.

The whole purpose of DOGE is to cut the deficit. Sending out stimmies negates that. We are 36.5 trillion in debt, adding almost 2 trillion a year now.

This is me. We're owed decades worth of money from theft.

Trace Gallagher on Fox News @ Night just disclosed that Musk was mulling the idea to provide every American taxpaying household $5000.00 which would equate to 20% of $2 Trillion in DOGE savings.

So it looks like DOGE may think it will get double the savings from it's original goal of $1 Trillion in savings, although I haven't seen that new goal mentioned directly. Seems like they can easily get $2 Trillion in my opinion.

At $2 trillion in DOGE savings and 78 million tax-paying households, this is a $5,000 refund per household, with the remaining used to pay down the national debt.

I love the concept of this; however, one of the drivers of the inflation we experienced under Biden was government stimulus checks during covid.

While giving the taxpayers back some money to refund all of this insane spending would be really nice, I don't want it if it's going to fuel inflation.

Instead of a refund, how about we fund good programs for veterans? Get all the homeless vets off the street, and improve the VA system.

I certainly wouldn't mind receiving a bit of my coin back, so that I might purchase another freedom seed dispenser and then subsequently lose it in yet another most unfortunate marine mishap.
