Remember when Congress sent out stimulus checks during covid? People didn't use it to pay down debt or put into savings, most ppl spent it. Causing inflation to spike.

Also, not gonna happen, because all of that alleged "savings" is earmarked for big tax cuts.

No way! They wouldn’t lie to millions of people in order to line the pockets of a few already-rich people, would they?

golfgate.bsky.social•2 days ago

all their false savings are going to look tiny compared to the increased interest costs on $36T in debt if and when we get downgraded...

I wish they kept the part of the 1989 movie in where Joker gives away fake bills with his face on them during the parade.

It would be apt for this moment.

And open your own national park.

My theory is people will finally wake up to the destruction being wrought when their RV is turned away from Yellowstone. Of course, it might be too late by then.

Musk mulls giving Americans… It has better be his own money, as only Congress has the power to dispense funds!

not with 5,000 i can't.

This country needs an enema

I’m going to use mine to prepay for a tombstone that says I died in a plane crash.

For all 330 million people? They haven't saved enough yet for that.

slickpoetry.bsky.social•2 days ago

You laugh, but there is a way of doing that if we all devise a system that pools the money together for collective action. I know it sounds scary, but we could write up a document that safeguards us and dictates how the money will be spent, and hire professionals to administer it.

Cancer Research as a Service

Yep - destroy govt agencies and then when the public ends up needing these agencies, then absolve themselves of responsibility with their little check that will inevitably be spent on staying afloat in our wage-stagnant dystopia.

The burdens are shifted onto people who can’t possibly carry them…

MAGA is going to blow theirs on 30' walls that go partway around their yards.

And Trump branded merch.

By their own very dodgy accounting they've saved 55 billion so far. If we assume all adult Americans were to be given the check, the cost would amount to about 1,3 trillion dollars. Which means they're only short by about 1,3 trillion dollars. Geniuses.

Great.
It will help me change my residency to citizenship….in Mexico.

millerlefty.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can use that money to buy some bread and some circuses.

rubble44.bsky.social•2 days ago

That $5,000 would come in handy since prices on everything are going up. May be able to take a family of four out to IHOP for some breakfast with real eggs if this keeps up.

jack-north.bsky.social•2 days ago

So he's hiring additional coup members? My price is WAY more than that!

whalemanofficial.bsky.social•2 days ago

Based on DOGE's prior math, that works out to $5,000,000. Sign me up!

creaturesrule.bsky.social•2 days ago

😂✌️

hueycallison.bsky.social•2 days ago

And when you get hospitalized with bird flu, you can use that $5,000 to pay- ...part of your deductible?

eruanion.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is a bribe to make us like him and DT. Heck, they don't even plan to hand it out til 2026 or 27. Plus, it would be close to 2 trillion they are spending. How does that save us anything?
