I think President Trump and Elon Musk have done a fantastic job in cutting the wasteful spending and mistreatment of out taxpayers dollars. Great article and suggestion, Diane.
Sorry have to completely disagree with this and feel it is like other programs (student loan forgiveness) as short-term and hurts long-term “golden age” of America. Why? Fed govt owes
SS massive sums. We’re in debt to ourselves. Paying back those IOUs especially at a time that the pyramid scheme is getting ready to bring in less, will hinder GDP. Secondly, paying off the massive debt allows for growth. Growth of the economy would lift “all boats” and with that growth taxes can be cut. Interest debt harms net worth. Treat the Fed like we should treat our personal finances. Good debt that grows finances ok. Debt that takes just increases costs for everyone.
My concern with a one time five k refund will go to all the people that pay zero taxes. That 50% of the country that only take, and don’t give. They weren’t stolen from. At least not in a way that they had to work like mad to get it, then have it stolen. No, they pay no percent of their income for the grift,do they aren’t entitled to recompense.
I agree! Only TAXPAYERS should get the $$$. I assume they will distribute this money to those who filed tax returns in 2023, like Trump's 2020 Covid $$$ was distributed to, as I recall, 2018 tax return filers.

$5K would be nice...
Wouldn't that be wonderful?! Thank you Diane for your fantastic suggestion!
LOVE IT!
Good work Diane!

One can hope. And just for reference, that excludes me, as I’m on ss, and don’t have to file any longer.
Speaking of SS: We are finding that the Deep State has been stealing these funds, as well.
