So this is how we pay down the debt! Gotcha ok!!
We aren't going to pay off the debt. You should have learned that from DOGE when Elon and Trump were told in no uncertain terms to sit down and shut up about wasteful spending. Since then we've seen hundreds of billions in fraud uncovered and nobody bats an eye.
This payout is a giveaway to citizens for continuing to fund the abject corruption that is the American system. Nothing is going to change because it doesn't have to.

Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump … what a **** show we've had.
Conservative values are dead in modern US politics.
So many of you are sheep that think "owning the libs" means something.
We get the ruling class we deserve.

And that's saying something considering the last one was a walking skeleton who's son was sneaking coke into the White House.
Based on what? Serious question. School me.
You think the farce of Red vs. Blue is real. When you cure yourself of that, then we can start classes.
Just as I thought. Lolz
Haha yeah I chuckled when I read your first post on this thread.
You think this Soap Opera is real lolz
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks! pic.twitter.com/YOkESiUBrc

So what? Democrats do things like brag about making it cheaper/easier to send American dollars to Somalia, and wearing the right green color/inverted American flag (this video is from 2017 but similar ones can be found that are more current).And Amy Klobuchar set up the means to move the cash out of the country. Here she is bragging to a group of Somalis about how she did that. https://t.co/7HzK38ep4e

People make promises to constituencies, to drive up turnout. Older voters are the reddest block nationally. Obama did the $400 stimulus checks/tax credits in 2009 in his pork bill. Biden, $1400 checks (no Republican backed his bill).

I am tired of Trump thinking the solution to everything is him "sending checks". That is not a long term solution to anything. People need opportunities and ease of business. I know he is working on those things, but use any excess money to paying down the debt, however small it is.
And if he wants to send money, send it to people below a certain income level. For example, I don't need the money he would send. I know this one is for seniors but why would a senior like Bill Gates need a check from anyone?

When Trump first announced the $5k checks (which is idiocy), Vance immediately walked it back somewhat and said those checks would be means tested.

I am perfectly happy to have Trump in office over the blowjob queen, but there is no way everyone is getting $5k. That's laughable.
Its not even within his control. He'd need congress on board and I'd bet he hasn't even discussed it with them. It's like saying Mexico will pay for the wall. It's embarrassing if anyone actually believes it.YouBet said:AozorAg said:

Never happen. That's somewhere around another $1.2T in new spend. lol.
Just idiocracy.

We've already heard this. Only about 15% of Americans actually believe the 5K check is on the way.
And now we know the percent of living brain dead there is in this country.

Trump is saying out loud what politicians have been doing for decades. Americans will mortgage their future if they are given a few dollars today. He knows his customer.
JVSchroeder said:
If your defense of this foolishness is "Democrats did it too," then just vote Democrat, like Trump did until he discovered right wing populism.
The rest of us would like an actual conservative party.
