Pay back to taxPAYERS. | |||

Yeah, this money came from taxpayers and it should go back to taxpayers. Having said that...I think I'm with those here that believe the money needs to go back to reducing our debt. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

I'd be worried about so much money being pumped into the economy exacerbating inflation. | |||

Returning $5000 to every taxpayer will open a bunch of eyes to the graft, eyes that are glued to tictoc. $5000 that can be sent to the charity of your choice, not that of your government’s choosing. I don’t care if it’s abortion for gay whales or 2nd Amendment Foundation. Throw a party or pay off a loan it’s money that was used wastefully. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

That is EXACTLY what Biden did. | |||

Well, almost. the policy of printing of money (Quantitative Easing) and borrowing increased total money supply. Not exactly the same thing. ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||

If they could take that money and lower the income tax rate, that would put more money into the working class in a better way than just cash. | |||

If the checks only go to taxpayers, it wouldn't be as bad as when Covid money went to everyone. But it'd probably be better still to return the money via tax cuts and credits. That would result in less of a consumer spending spree. | |||

It would make the program complicated and perhaps untenable. But why a flat amount? Why not prorated by the amount of taxes paid over a period of time? Why would 21 year old tax payer get the same flat amount, having just gained employment, vs a 65 year old tax payer having worked the past 40 years?

The invaders/illegals have been given SS numbers as soon as they arrive. They may be shared SS numbers, but they are given functioning SS numbers and green cards immediately. This has been reported many times, with videos of the invaders stating what they received. -c1steve | |||

As much as I'd love a check for 5 grand, I feel like the savings realized by DODGE should be leveraged to balance the federal budget and pay off debt. Once that's done and we're operating in a fiscally responsible manner as a country, then we can talk about returning any surplus. This idea is better than the COVID stimulus payments because at least they're based on spending cuts instead of pure borrowing, but they still drive inflation and are IMO more of a political stunt than a meaningful change. There's still a lot of work to be done to get this country in the black. Keep after it, and once it's done adjust taxes accordingly. | |||

I agree with tax cuts, which is part of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Tax credits, on the other hand, are often welfare payments. "Refundable tax credits" often go to people with no tax liability. We shouldn't give tax refund payments to people who don't pay taxes. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Inflationary and debt reduction arguments aside, I think the moral boost and increased trust of DOGE across the country, would be a huge benefit. And I assume that's really the point of the proposal. I'm not saying I'm for it, because it's a pretty complicated issue...as pointed out in previous posts. But I think it has it's merits. SIGforum: For all your needs!

It wouldn't do anything to increase my trust. They already got my vote (and that of more than half the rest of the country), so that's a non-issue. They're doing exactly what they campaigned on, and I'm thrilled about that. If anything, stooping to a pandering political stunt like this would undermine my confidence in their motives and decision-making. | |||

I agree with this. Let’s get out of debt if possible. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

Yes, no checks to individuals. It's inflationary and the government is broke. | |||

Throw it at the debt. Even though $36.2T/340M people is a bit over $100k per living soul in the US, it’s a start. | |||

I am fine with it. Keep grinding through the grift. Lets reward the tax payer for the decades long ripoff. I think that is far. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

A tax refund, is not inflationary they're real dollars. | |||
