If anyone doesn’t like getting a $5000 dollar check they can give it to me or back to the government.

I can only hope Elon ran this notion to Trump BEFORE he tweeted the public about it yesterday. That would be following the chain of command.
The possibility of receiving a $5K pay back from the Government, is a statement you can not just ignore or delete.

I’d rather the whole amount go to paying down the national debt.

This is brilliant because it will give taxpayers a tangible frame of reference on the scale of corruption uncovered. Heck, make it $50k if trillions end up being saved!

If it was only given to illegal aliens or to fund abortions they would.

I’m halfway between you and Trump. Put half onto the debt and half to American taxpayers, not to American citizens.

Paying the taxpayers their own money in exchange for voting for him to reduce the cost of government is bribery

I feel the way I do because I have an extreme hatred of debt, and I remember President Washington’s farewell address, and his warning to guard the public credit.

I would too but the slap up the side of the head to low info voter would make it worthwhile. “What, I get $5000 that some woke dem was going to steal and waste because Elon found out how they were stealing it!!”

Let the dems say, No, give that money back. We demand the cash go to dwarf lbgtxyz animal studies in Moldova as we originally approved the expenditure.

Get every taxpayer on board and understanding with the rebate. Pay down the debt after that first and only cash payout.

Obviously not. Of course angry Democrats should refuse the checks because of Trump. That’ll show him.

“ I’d rather the whole amount go to paying down the national debt.”

Em…Mr Capitalist, you do follow the theory that the more money circulated into the economy, the more revenue is generated

You can’t think that 5,000 x 200 billion (or whatever the population is who pay taxes. It’s prob 100 mil) would put a dent into the 34 trillion debt

I would be fine with my portion going towards the national debt.

Or I will donate it to FreeRepublic.
