When do I get my money? I want it before I go to Vegas.
Wow I didn’t know the covid checks added up to about a trillion $. Wow. I can’t see every taxpayer getting $5k then. They would bankrupt us more than we already are.
Right now the number being kicked around is $5k per taxpayer.
I’m am not rich and live on my Social Security check augmented with my savings. Still, for my kids and grandkids sake, I’d rather see us pay down the Federal debt than disperse it. Sending X-dollars to taxpayers isn’t fair in the sense that some paid more taxes than others. It’s still a form of spending and the gov’t has to stop that habit. This is a good place to start.
“When do I get my money? I want it before I go to Vegas.”
When you file your 2025 return.
“It’s my money and I want it NOW.”
I think there’s too much money in the supply right now - that’s why things are inflationary.
This time around, I’d rather the money from DOGE go to lowering the deficit, to lowering the debt.
Maybe with the next round of cuts, make it 50% refund, 50% debt pay down.
Retire bonds with it; this payout will only cause more inflation. Nothing banksters hate more than when you retire your debt early.
There were 154 million tax returns filed for the 2022 tax year (rounded). Guessing these translate to 250 million people (broadly estimating the number of joint returns).
If DOGE saves $100 billion, 20% of that is $20B. Divvying it up evenly gives us...
$80 apiece. I wouldn’t make a lot of vacation plans ahead of time, but you can do the math from here: $1 trillion nets out at $800 each, and so forth.
I could really use that money. Here in California expenses are skyrocketing. Rents, Utilities, Car Insurance, Groceries, you name it. And $5/gallon gas is everywhere.
3 percent inflation is a big fat lie. More like 20%.
Yes. I do not think sending money out should have been mentioned. We were good for now. I would prefer they fixed healthcare, sending Obamacare into oblivion.
I too live off my govt check with a mortgage to boot. Biden’s inflation has really hurt me...and I could use the money
YES, the less of my money the government has the less it can waste or use for leftist activities.
Jasmine Crockett says people don’t need this because what are they gon do with 5000 dollars?
Her constituents haven’t been asked yet. LOL
So I was thinking, since Kamala voters don’t want the 5000 dollars, well maybe we could increase the Trump voter checks to 10000 dollars. Yeah, hell of a deal!
😆😆🤣🤣
“this payout will only cause more inflation.”
No change in money supply. It shifts the money/spending from the leeches to income workers.
Five thousand dollars is ALOT of money, especially for those on fixed incomes or lower income working. As long as it is not one if those “gifts” that the IRS taxes or demands back, it could be good.
“When do I get my money? I want it before I go to Vegas.”
Hopefully we don’t get it until the savings are clearly reflected in the government’s financial statements. The DOGE efforts must first of all reduce spending and debt.
Paul Harvey once quoted a man who won a huge amount of money. When asked what he would do with it, the man said he’d spend 90% of it in Vegas and ‘blow’ the rest of it.
Me too. But probably ain’t driving down until Sept.
