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

[SpaceBar]

pay down the damn debt already...

By far the most ethical and fiscally responsible thing to do.

[guitar Josh]

6 figures? What do you do?

[LastDayz]

Thought about this last week. If anybody should be paying down the debt, it should those that egregiously abused, mismanaged, and self-enriched themselves with our tax dollars. Those mofos should be rendered destitute and thrown under the jailhouse.

The working class have suffered numerous and untold injuries over the last 50+ years from this facist BS with no relief in sight.... until now. I propose $10,000 per actual taxpayer household, cease and desist taxing those drawing legit Social Security, cease and desist the taxing of tips, and abolish the IRS.

Yes, pay down the debt.

Then if there still is an income tax, stop all with holding and all quarterly payments.

Pay with cash, check or money order the day before you vote.

Folks would vote better if they really understood how much they pay that could have been theirs and paying was fresh in their minds.

Has everyone else but you lost his mind?

From all the bad ideas across these threads, this ranks right down there with the worst.

America is $36 trillion in debt and incurring deficits at the rate of nearly $2 trillion per year. Therefore we and Donald Trump are in a foot race to curb this deficit before the bond purchasers abandon the next auction and permit chaos to ensue.

Before the end of this year we must roll over $10 trillion in 10 year notes. If the interest rates go up it will be even more difficult to do. If we dump monies from helicopters, as this mindless feel good proposal would do, inflation increases as the value of those very dollars declines.

The interest rates for bonds is just shy of 5% now and if that rate goes much higher it will be very difficult to float the bonds and still make the rest of the government work.

The whole idea behind DOGE is not just good governance but the very salvation of our economy, the dollar, our Constitution and Bill of Rights. To lose those is to have blood in the streets.

I’d like the 5 grans, but that’s also fine with me. Just reducing the deficit by 2 trillion, should Congress act on the recommendations, will lower the inflation tax.

[SisterK]

I agree with you
pay the debt
raise the standard deductible to one million dollars

I played Santa once. Paid off someone's debts (including hefty debts to the IRS and the Mob) and told them to tear up all the credit cards. Guess what happened.

[delchiante]

Obliterating the Deep State and draining the swamp will accomplish the goal of govt not being Santa.

Until then, it’s a money laundering crime syndicate
