DOGE is considering sending all Americans $5,000 as a dividend on all the savings that have been achieved by firing, slashing and burning various government agencies. My question is what will you do with your $5,000?
If it sounds too good to be true, see:https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-mulls-giving-americans-165329483.html
Personally, do not care whether it happens or not, but the great-grand kids are going to need help down the road and my problem is dividing $5,000 equally by 6 (at the moment).
It’s the great-grand kids we should worry about if we don’t deal with the deficit and debt first .
Anyone who is opposed to this can write a check to the US Treasury and return the money. If fact, one can do this at any time and for any reason. As an opinion, I would prefer any “rebate” money be applied to the deficit. But it is a real button pusher and if that was the intention by DOGE then it worked.
The initial comment was not political, but some of the overheated replies denouncing its “political” nature were themselves very political.
I will worry about what to do with a $5K DOGE dividend if and when one is ever paid.
Remember any money that is distributed isn’t actually from savings. The money has to be borrowed, thus adding to the deficit.
