Talks of doge refund checks up $8000 to taxpayers from govt cuts

[Anonymous]

It sounds completely insane but I’ve lived thru stimulus checks and CA governor’s “gas money” given out circa 2022 I think? So it doesn’t seem so insane anymore.
I thought it was the democrat playbook tho

Fake news. It will cost us to cover the payments to Elmo and gang

And once we cover all the lawsuits from them firing folks without cause, and rehiring from the brain drain (because it wasn’t just new employees that were caught up on probationary status), we’ll be further in debt. Not to mention the amount saved is all a lie.

The US is the world's reserve currency because people trust in the dollar and in the American system.

Sending Americans an 8000 check would shoot inflation through the roof. It would add even more to the deficit and completely trash international markets belief in the dollar or in the American system.

If you get a check for $8000 from Musk, use it to buy a flight out of the country.

So, we can’t send eight grand to individual American citizen taxpayers. But we absolutely can send billions to different non-profits and grifting contractors and give the bureaucrats who set these deals up six figure paychecks?.. 🤨

who are the non-profits and individual "grifters" getting billions of dollars for doing nothing?

Just like the stimulus checks Trump held up in 2020 so that he could personally "sign"? This is the Trump playbook. Attempting to buy support when things start going bad.

Vote buys are a popular political stunt that extends well beyond the "democrat playbook".

Musk didn't say this, some idiot made it up and now it's all over MAGA internet. Almost like they're really gullible.

If true, this is what "owning the MAGAs" needs to look like. Disinfo works both ways.

Hmmm, force their hands. It’s certainly never dull around here and this could inspire people if true.

Policy wise this is bad with inflation still not being completely snuffed out but i think this is political genius if they go ahead with it and trump signs the checks. Tons of people that don't give two shits about USAID or federal workers but love free checks from the federal government. It's pretty comical how Trump keeps stealing from the democrat playbook and just does it better

I love all the liberals on social media posting manipulated photos of their $8k checks to troll the republicans. AND THEY ARE FALLING FOR IT.

Maga: I haven't gotten anything yet! WTF!
Lib: probably because of our liberal status with the government. Remember, you guys said liberals suck the teats of the government, so it makes sense that we got our checks first. Hope they don't run out before they get to the republicans.
Maga: THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT!



These people will literally believe anything posted online. Maga is literally my 81 year old aunt who constantly posts "I do not authorize Facebook to delete my account." each time she sees that viral hoax going around.

The math ain't mathing.

Can they not do basic math?

$40,000,000 / 333,290,000 people does NOT = $8000 per person. That's not even $5000 per person, which is the new figure I'm seeing all over social media.

It's not even enough money divided out to buy a god damn US stamp.

Good start, but I want more. Gubment been ripping peeps off for generations.

Yes when the Medicaid goes, I’m sure $8000 will cover the bills.

The $8000 is based off the full $2 trillion being "saved". It's not a real thing. It's another Musk "don't look here, look here" trick.
