Democrats: If the DOGE Savings allow and Prompt Trump to Send you a $5,000 Check, what will You do with the Money?

[Moonglow]

I would have said underage transgender prostitutes, but you may be right.

You think that because you are always thinking of them

 

[Moonglow]

Not for you, there won't. SNAP Card monkeys already get way more than $5K in freebies, though.

Prove it then.

 

[Couchpotato]

Really? It has a question mark (?) at the end. That's how you can tell it is a question.

Would you like to answer it or do you need me to do the math for you?

That wasn’t the question the op asked dumbass

The creator behind the proposal to issue $5,000 "DOGE dividend" stimulus checks to American taxpayers has updated the eligibility requirements.

James Fishback recently clarified the eligibility requirements, saying anyone who files a federal income tax return and pays federal income tax would qualify.

"If you file a federal income tax return—if you pay federal income tax, which is to say that you worked—you would receive a DOGE dividend check. That individual and their household would benefit from this payment," Fishback told Steve Ram on Ram's podcast.

Have to look at the fine print to know if people who worked and paid taxes, but got back more than they paid in as part of the "refundable tax credit" will be eligible. That would leave many Democrats out.

But if you are among those of us who will be eligible, how will you spend it?

I will use it to spur on the economy by visiting resteraunts, a hardware store, a vehicle auction, the purchasing of a new lawnmower, a little bit put into my savings, and of course groceries and gas.

No chance in hell of anyone getting a DOGE stimulus payment.

You folks also thought Trump didn't have a chance in hell of winning in 2026 and 2024 too.

But by all means continue underestimating him, and thanks for delivering us the presidency.

 

[beagle9]

Use the money to pay down the debt.
$5000 checks to everyone would cause a massive inflation increase.

Nah, it will relieve inflation if it is used to spur the economy. By then hopefully we will be chugging along the tracks toward success after leaving the inflation train behind once the Trump policies begin to take their full affect.

This money isn't being printed out of thin air, otherwise it is savings found that would have continued to lead to massive inflation if were allowed to stay in place as a draw against us.

Trump doesn't have the votes in Congress or the balls to give away the cash he doesn't have.

Retirees will not get a DOGE payment on those making over 40k will.

Feb 25, 2025 — Americans who earn less than $40,000 per year are unlikely to get their hands on the proposed "DOGE dividend" payments.

FICA isn't refundable. Income tax is separate from what you pay into Social Security and Medicare.
So anyone who's paid into FICA should qualify.

No, they don't, according to the outline in my post.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes, because they have more conservatives. But when you cite negative stats about southern red states, understand the large percentage of blacks are the ones causing most of those negative stats. If that weren't true, then Utah would share all those negative traits...but they don't.

That hurts whites as well as blacks.

 

[Mashmont]

Red states are all takers,

Oh, I see your problem. You're confusing sparsely populated large areas with politics. We get that all the time from NOVA liberals complaining about funding our area of SW Virginia. We'll let me say this. If we don't get disproportional funding, then you're asking a small group of people to pay for the roads system you all use to handing millions of trucks hauling stuff to deliver to your precious blue cities. You're asking us to maintain the natural resources your precious blue cities rely on. You're asking a small group to grow all your food, build and maintain reservoirs and upland water systems and forests and recreational areas. So tell me how it's fair that a relatively few handle all that expense for y'all. So that's how you get 'disproportionate' spending in the red areas of states and countries. If we block off all the red areas, good luck getting anything done.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You are always taking about land and politics when you post the silly maps with most of the land that only got 51% of the vote.

Maybe they will be; we haven't seen the details.

But if their "refundable tax credit" amounts to more than they paid in income taxes and FICA, then they should not be eligible in my opinion.

But, if they are made eligible, at least they had jobs, so I won't complain about them getting it. In fact, if you are describing yourself, I'll say that I hope you do get it. Fingers crossed!

What will you do with it, to get back on topic?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Good thinking. Eggspecially them hundred dollar eggs or whatever the Dems are crying about.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I might use mine in part to put a Tesla charging station in my garage. I don't have a Tesla, and never wanted an electric car. But I'm guessing they will soon be subsidized to the point where I would be dumb not to get one, and use it for trips to the dollar store and whatnot.

I'll make sure I carry "Aunt Esther" (my shotgun) in case any Democrats get violent upon seeing it. I'll roll down my window and say "What did you say N!&&3R?" my favorite line from that show (Sanford and Son). I'll only say that if they're some pasty white boy, or wearing a ski mask and face diaper they way those cowards do.

Use it to buy groceries and pay for all of the inflated prices of everything in the United States.
Biden's inflation has inflated just the price of food to the tune of $4800/yr for a couple without children (at minimum) for the last 4 years.

 

[Crepitus]

That’s just an extended paranoid rant of your short paranoid rant. Quote me the exact parts of anything written by Donald Trump or Republicans that provides tax breaks for billionaires only.

“Brakes for billionaires“ is just a catchphrase the Democrats don’t want to let go because I guess they’re low information base eats it up.

YOu asked for a link, I provided a link.

You don't like it?

Find your own.

Conversations evolve.

Dude, you can't have this both ways. Either they have more conservatives or more poor people.

Or are you claiming that those poor people vote tRump?
