Trump floating returning 20% of DOGE savings to American people

President Donald Trump says he may use 20% of DOGE savings to send payments of $5,000 directly to the American people.

Trump said 20% of the savings could be delivered to U.S. citizens in personal checks to taxpaying households, while another 20% would be used to pay down the national debt.

"There's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20% of the DOGE savings to American citizens, and 20% goes to paying down debt, because the numbers are incredible," Trump told reporters during an event at Miami Beach, Florida.

Users on X, formerly Twitter, first pitched the idea of a "DOGE dividend" to Elon Musk earlier this week, suggesting payouts of $5,000. The billionaire Tesla owner said he would "check with the president" about the plan.

I think if the money was used to pay down the debt it would reduce inflation and make our current money worth more, not less.

That would likely be much better for the economy, but less popular with the people.
 
Here's my proposal: They split the 20% between Americans who were gainfully employed all of last year, yet despite their efforts still made less than the average income of around $67K a year. They can verify this using income tax returns.

More welfare? Hell no. Those people will waste it quicker than a Democrat.
It needs to go to those people that make this country work and were ripped off.

I agree, that's why I said "were gainfully employed all of last year." Don't give it to those who haven't been working, and have been drawing government checks. Give it to those who work hard, but never seem to get ahead.
 
I think @Melensdad is right pay down the debt but if another demorat gets in that blows the wadd because they well be back to wasting money.
I think it should be put into a private personal roth ira out of government's reach and let the people decide their own fate.
