The latest buzz around the beltway is all about the idea of sending out “DOGE Dividend” refund checks to American citizens. President Donald Trump broke the news on Wednesday, February 19, that he’s seriously thinking about it. The White House is “considering a plan to send 20% of the savings created by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency to Americans.”
DOGE Dividend checks
American citizens deserve rebate checks of some of the cash that liberals ripped off, right out of their pockets. If the efficiency department meets their quota of eliminating $2 trillion in fraud and waste, your cut is $5,000. Democrats scream it will lead to inflation but that’s their usual disinformation.
It’s a rebate of money you worked hard to earn and already spent. It wasn’t your fault it was illegally collected for fraudulent progressive schemes.
The subject came up at an investment meeting in Florida. The president confirmed that the plan is “under consideration.”
The general idea is “20% of savings produced by DOGE would go to taxpayers while another 20% would go toward paying down debt.” The checks won’t be mailing out soon. The results need to be produced first.
According to Forbes, President Trump “did not provide specifics on when the plan could potentially be implemented or how much money each American might receive under it.” They didn’t think that his 20 percent of recovery figure was good enough.
They pulled out a pocket calculator and googled how many zeroes in a trillion. Then they looked up the fact there are around “79 million U.S. households that will be net payers of federal income tax.” That works out to about five grand apiece. The actual checks could be more or less, depending on how DOGE does at finding money.
Looking for $2 trillion
If DOGE manages to shake $2 trillion in loose change out of the federal sofa cushions, it means 400 billion would go to checks for taxpayers while another $400 billion would go toward paying Uncle Sam’s credit card bill.
Right now, he’s got a $36 trillion balance on the account and is struggling to pay the interest.
Trump himself is amazed at the scale of obvious waste. “The numbers are incredible,” he notes. He’s convinced there’s “hundreds of billions” which should have been trimmed out long ago. So far, DOGE estimates they’ve “saved an estimated $55 billion.”
Not bad for only a couple weeks on the job. They’ll be sending checks out to Americans because so many more won’t be sent out to sketchy schemes in third-world countries.
The way it’s expected to work, DOGE will go through the federal bureaucracy with a microscope to detect fraud, find contracts and leases which can be canceled and generally use a toolbox full of things like “asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings.”
They’re set up to run a couple of years. When they’re done, all the numbers will be tallied up and checks for the 20 percent split will go out to the masses.
