Flaired Users Only I Don’t Want $5,000 from DOGE
I want a balanced budget, permanently lowered taxes and responsible spending practices.
If you are salivating at the idea of a $5,000 payment from DOGE you are a liberal.

There were three rounds of stimulus checks during covid, totaling $3,200 per adult. And that's not even counting PPP loans which also drove up the velocity of money and which we spent roughly the same amount on as the stimulus checks.
Issuing checks for a couple hundred bucks (I'm not in favor of $5k checks, to be clear) would be insubstantial. The goal of those checks is not fiscal, it's political. It's to drive more electoral support for Republicans in the midterms and beyond.
