...as a cost-savings exercise, only to shell out $5,000 apiece to every household?

Are we trying to lower government spending or not?

what could go wrong? The stimulus checks were way too small, these will be much bigger! First get that debt ceiling raised.

Why not work on the deficit?

Debt and deficit only matter when a Democrat is in the WH, silly.***

And naturally, will be highly appealing to dumb people who don't understand how taxes and national deficits and debt work.

I'll just bet that you sent your Trump checks back, a few years ago.

That doesn't change whether it is a good idea or bad idea? Do you think we should give out 5k stimulus checks to everyone? Of course nobody will return them, but is it a good idea to give them to everyone?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It'll definitely help with inflation, that's for sure. lol

... and all the MAGAs standing in line, already nodding their heads yes before Trump/Musk even says it.

Remember when inflation was one of their campaign rallying cries? lol. ... and who are the sheep again?

That would be a drop in the bucket compared to what I've paid in taxes over the last 50+ years of my life. And, I'll guess that you're pretty much in the same boat.

Cool story bro. The question is whether it would be good for the country.

know better unlike Trump. Just trying to buy support. If we sign off on this, we can cancel Trump’s request to increase the debt ceiling $4T then right, because we are flush with excess cash?

I didn't realize, but last week's inflation spike, comes up to a 9% yearly rate

if it continues. It just ticked up the yearly average a bit, but if you took last month and went another 11 months with identical increases, we'd have 9% yearly inflation.

What's normal?

9% is roughly 2022-3 inflation all over again.
