If this did happen, no money to illegals. Only citizens

[RandallFlagg]

If it happened, within five seconds democrats will scream that the refunds need to be taxed.

Flippln’ parasites.

[Jonty30]

Would I get $2500 for being “kind of” American?

[eastforker]

Tax paying citizens, not including those that file, pay no taxes and get a CTC refund check.

[cpdiii]

If it is based on the income taxes I have paid, I will be a big winner. Make it so.

[Fai Mao]

They should go full fledged Democrat on this. Make the cuts and have the money. When Democrats complain make it a campaign issue in 2026.

Simply truthfully say, “They’ll put $5000000, in their pocket and none in yours. But we’ll put $5000 I yours and none in ours. Who ya gonna vote for?”

Buy a landslide, a really bigly landslide

‘It was their money in the first place! At $2 trillion in DOGE savings and 78 million tax-paying households, this is a $5,000 refund per household

[Responsibility2nd]

Great. And as a senior citizen, I’d also ask that they STOP taxing Social Security benefits.

Thank you very much.

[sten]

only TAXPAYING citizens

360m in the country... 150m file taxes.

and the top 20% of taxpayers should get more... since they pay 90%+ of all taxes

[madison10]

Musk is doing nothing of the kind. He is only advising according to the White House. Nice sentiment, though.

[Responsibility2nd]

If DOGE has already saved 111 Billion dollars in just 5 weeks, how long will it take to reach that 2 Trillion number?

I have mixed feelings about this. That money is exhibit ‘A’ in the world’s biggest theft and money laundering ring in history e.g. the democrat party. A check won’t buy my trust, culpability will.

[Professional]

Not this crap again..

I pay 6 figures in taxes.

Just take the money and pay down the damn debt already.

It is not the responsibility of govt to be Santa

And we know for darn sure that like Covid money, any refunds will go to fraud disproportionately

[TornadoAlley3]

Is Elon getting too far over his skis?
Is DJT having Elon test out ideas for him?
Are they both trolling the liberals and having the most fun of their lives?
At first I was indifferent about Elon. Now I don't want their bromance to end.

[frank ballenger]

Excellent point. No money for the illegals.

But what about paying a fortune in unemployment benefits to the kicked out freeloaders? And in the lawsuits for the poor loafers defended in courts for years by cash hungry leftist lawyers?

[ViLaLuz]

Bad idea. We have a huge national credit card deficit already.

[McGruff]

[whitney69]

Apply it to my taxes earmarked for education, firefighters, and police. I would lose that much anyway, why not invest it in myself for needy causes? Just give me a tax credit.

[Drago]

First, a balanced budget (need $1.8 Trillion in cuts for that), then a balanced budget with a surplus to start paying down the $36 Trillion national debt ($2+ Trillion in cuts to achieve that) THEN you can start talking about a “DOGE Dividend”.

[know.your.why]

Dems are so screwed.

[imardmd1]

No, no,no. Sending it to spenders will only inflate the dollar and increase prices.Send it to Social Security dependents who have already been impoverished by government-driven inflation. Or concurrently only increase the interest rates for savings accounts. Or send out pro-rated one-dollar initial value savings bonds that reach their face values only when they reach maturity.

It is invested savings that make capitalism work, as it used to in my youth up to the 1960s when credit cards entered the earning/spencing cycle to destroy the power of accumulated savinss funded one's retirement.
