Trump boosts Elon Musk’s plan for ‘DOGE dividend’ checks to taxpayers.

But experts are skeptical.

Something fishy here - why isn't the tax rate just reduced? Its that simple. Instead the chuckle brothers want to tax people and then send them a cheque refunding them 20%.

FFS! He always lies!

This is a payoff, to smile and turn a blind eye to them stealing 4.7 trillion dollars of taxpayer money.

He'll throw you ten bucks, and you'll cheer whilst he steals BILLIONS. And destroys America. And world peace. Your constitution is gone. Your democracy is gone. Your rights are gone. You've got an orange king. And he's owned by Russia.

But he'll throw you ten bucks, and you'll cheer.

Buy an egg.

I do not need nor want a DOGE "dividend".
What I do want is to continue receiving my monthly Social Security check as earned since I first started working for pay at age 16. I am now 73, and I want the money I earned. Nothing more, nothing less.

That would be a bad deal. Americans trading 5k for ones entire future is insane. It's basically Trump and cronies are looting the vault and dropping some money on the way out to distract. Trading America's future for a tiny hand out. Devil's deal. We would lose social security, Healthcare, and VA.

We can’t be bought

I don't want a $5k bandaid. I want our government services intact. I want our information secured. I want a stable income. I want to be able to sleep at night without wondering whether the nightmare I'll have or the nightmare I'll wake up to will be worse.

For every dime he can send out he will pocket a dollar.

It better be 20% of their inflated number.

We’ll pay it back in taxes anyways.

He is going to hold this as an issue to influence the elections for House vacancies next month (maybe 2 months?), "A vote for me is a vote for that DOGE money., If I don't win, you don't get that." Holy crap have we reached the welfare queen for the, but not for me phase....
