President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he’s considering sending money directly to Americans, using funds from the claimed savings of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

I’m gonna guess that this would amount to like $100 per person per year? And in exchange my planet will be less inhabitable, prices on everything will go up, quality will go down, safety will plummet, rights will vanish, our place on the international stage will be forever revoked, and unemployment will skyrocket which will increase crime out of desperation to survive.
I don’t think I’d take that deal for $10k. They need to fire themselves. They’re not the department of government efficiency, they’re the department of stripping the government for parts. They’re cutting shit that pays dividends.
A little bit less than that… DOGE is claiming they found $55B in savings, Trump wants to kick back 20% to taxpayers.
So 20% of 55B = 11B.
164 million taxpayers:

So $11B/164M = $67 each.
OTOH… DOGE hasn’t actually found $55B, best anyone can figure it’s more like $2B.

So running the same formula, 20% of 2B = $400,000,000 / 164M = $2.44 per taxpayer.
I absolutely believe they’ll cut a check for $5000, say it’s the savings, and then say Democrats caused the renewed inflation.
Is that before or after someone noticed their $8B in savings was $8m? Or before they had to rehire all those departments they fired before they realized they were critical?
I could buy 4 eggs with that!
You’ll get $100 and lose 10k to inflation
$100/person implies over $30 BN. DOGE has “saved” what, $10 MM overall so far?
It’s not an exchange. Either way the planet will be less inhabitable, etc. Wouldn’t you like an extra $100 during the end times?
