I am, the dividend should be applied to the deficit!
We are right now looking that, maybe, we may be able to get out budget into some kind of balance. Giving the money away is just sending the message that we really do not care about the deficit!

I need them to raise or preferably eliminate the SALT cap deduction.

Call it Enslaved Taxpayers’ Reparations and let the Democrats run against it.

I was wondering. All this fat they’re cutting. Tax-cuts, really pay down the debt.

Trump said our debt is actually much lower since much of its fraud.

We need to reassess how much it is before we start sending huge checks out to those theives

Think about this, they give billions and billions of our money away to countries that hate us. While our country goes down the tube. Why dont they give every tax paying US Citizens a million bucks. Then watch this economy take the hell off. They stole more than that from all of us.

Right after the fiscal part of my brain thought; “Great idea! I could use some refund. America should get the refund”
Then the Trump-is-a-brainiac part of my brain thought; “EXCELLENT benefit to win more MAGA voters for the mid terms!L

THEN the cynic part of my brain IMMEDIATELY thought;
“Great idea. To get the refund, simply verify yourself at the fedgov website, providing a current address, photo of your ID...and your social security number.
...a well-laid trap for the fraudulent SSN abuse, as recently disclosed, and a self-doxing of immigrant invaders”

...but that last part is merely the cynic nodule of my brain

Paging Elon and DJT, I figure I’m close to or above $1,000,000 refund.

Well, that will certainly take the sting out of the slight bump tariff increases will bring when the income tax goes bye-bye! Do it!

Do the rebate to hook the American People on the truth of where this money came from. Then, by all means, start paying down the debt. I’m 68 and would like to die leaving my grandchildren with as little debt as possible.

If you think this is a good idea, you are more of a fool than I thought you were.

The debt is fraud, in any case

Oh, yeah? Well, the interest on it is real.

If tariffs really do raise prices then some tax relief would go a long way to keeping Americans able to adjust to that change.

Just as long as we could still avoid inflation.

I would like mine in cash , thanks.
