There are about 125 million citizens who file federal tax forms. From what I have read about 65 million actually had to pay federal taxes. I would suggest that those who paid taxes should get the refunds first.
If the DOGE goal of 2 trillion is met then 2 trillion divided by 65 M Is about 30 K per taxpayer. If 2T is spread over 125M, that’s about 15 K per tax form filer.
Further DOGE savings could be used to pay down the principal on the national debt.
Send it back..it was, and is our money. Prosecute anyone who got a kickback from the spending as “fraud”...8 years in the pokey sounds like a good start.

Plus a fine that wipes out their assets.
