And then

SEIZE ALL THE CASH
ASSETS
OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS

Of everyone that has milked us dry for 112 years since the FED RESERVE OPENED SHOP!

I want a pound of flesh from all those scumbags that are hiding out in castles across Europe.

They should lose it all, BANKRUPT & GUILLOTINE!

This would bury democrats for at least two election cycles. After that, segments of the population would willfully return to child sacrifice and hedonism.

Is this their “let them eat cake” moment? Will this get to the point where the taxpayers really demand tribunals? That would be wild to see play out as it was in France after the fall of Louis’s reign.

Sending out 2 trillion would not cut down the debt at all, the deficit alone is 2 trillion. Sending out 2 trillion would increase inflation

I would much rather they focus on cutting down debt, which would increase purchasing power and bring down mortgage rates, than get a one time check for $5k. The frick does $5k even buy you anymore?

love the idea but how about throw some frickers in jail, pay down the debt and we can call us even?

Sure, throw some in jail, but rebates are a wise solution to a problem pointed out by some leftists: Depriving the economy of half a trillion dollars of cash flow per year, even if that is stolen cash, would plunge us into a deflationary recession. If we rebate, say 80%, that would still give us some defecit reduction, while keeping the economy churning. Plus, it would be massively popular and just. Remember, there is much work still to do, and we need the good opinion of the people.

Rebate 80% this year; 60% next year; 40%; 20%, then 0. These savings are like an annuity; they will recur every year.

I like the idea of getting a tax refund then spending it on the inflation caused by not paying down the debt.

We spend 1 trillion per year on interest. Stop it.

I would prefer jail time for corrupt government workers and politicians, a tax cut, and doubling of SS benefits for those who worked for over 40 years if they paid into it the entire time

$5k is objectively not a lot of money for a one time payment.

Getting interest rates lowered would save much more and over a longer time, it is not realistic for us to have lower interest rates with how much debt our nation has and with how big the deficit is.

Here is an example:

Say you are a first time home buyer and you buy a $200k house (25% down). Your monthly payment for just the interest + principal would be $970 with today's interest rates.

If we got back to 2020 mortgage rates, your monthly payment would be $665. That would save you $300 a month, for 30 years. You would also see cheaper car payments, personal loans, business loans etc.
