The problem is this isn't the government's money, nor is it the taxpayers money, it's the creditor's money who are owed $36 trillion.

The Libs will loath this for sure, Libloather They detest any idea that “gives” back “the government’s” money to its original owners. Their new talking points will be distributed soon for all Libs to mimic like demented parrots. They’ve beat to death the egg inflation meme this week and need to hatch something new. The tax cuts for billionaires meme is lame too. How many billionaires are greedily anticipating getting a $5000 rebate? I haven’t checked my online banking yet today, but yesterday I wasn’t a billionaire. I can think of multiple things I could use $5000 to fund. Most taxpayers would love it.
Returning 20% of the savings uncovered by DOGE will not bankrupt the government. There are multiple reasons why President Trump and Elon are considering this. The rebate checks would attract massive support for DOGE from many who are not supportive now. This would encourage the exposure of more fraud and waste and generate additional savings. A $5000 savings could multiply to $10,000 or more. The $5000 will be distributed to productive people (the ones who pay taxes) and would be spent, increasing future tax revenues. A dividend would also help Republicans hold their razor-thin margin of control in the mud-term elections. If control of Congress is lost in the mid-terms, President Trump’s agenda is toast. DOGE will be a dead dog.

We wouldn’t be getting back a piece of “our money”, -just a taste of the huge deficit we have. Let them apply any savings to the national debt and stop the insane spending level we have.
