FORBES: Musk Mulls Sending All Americans $5,000 Checks Using DOGE Savings

Only because people believe Musk over believing Madcow.

A lot has happened since you crawled out from you under the bed hiding place.

Even if that were true, I’d prefer my money go to US homeless rather than Illegals who crossed the border and were processed. Repubs are officially the RNC of the 80s again. People on the left hated Reagan as much as they hated Trump. Why? Because both control the middle of the road argument.

They weren’t housing illegals. They were housing asylum seekers processed and released by Immigration services.

the people put up in hotels aren’t illega;s. They are working through our legal immigration laws.

Personally, I’d rather be sure our incredible national parks function well this spring, summer and fall, and that we enough FAA employees to maintain our excellent air travel record, than the $5K.

It is illegal to commit an act of fraud (such a a bogus asylum claim)
It is also illegal to enter the US at other than a properly established border checkpoint.

At the very least these fraudsters should get the same $355m per person penalty Trump got (even if there is no plaintiff). Equal Justice and all.

Why yes, yes I do.

Know why? Because FEMA believes it.

Uh huh.

You’re wrong. They aren’t illegals. They are working through current immigration law.

Except they are here illegally.

Crossed the border illegally,

You guys keep making that false claim and I keep batting it down.

In another couple months you’ll make it again.

1

Illegal Entry (8 U.S.C. § 1325): This can result in fines and imprisonment. For a first offense, the penalty can be a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 6 months. For subsequent offenses, the penalty can be a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 2 years.

2

18 U.S.C. § 1001 covers bogus asylum claims. fines and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years

3a

Any employer who hires an illegal nanny or lawncare guy etc. has violated 8 U.S.C. § 1324a $100-$1000 fine per employee, a lot worse for repeat offenders.

3b

Theoretically an illegally hired employee who conspires with said employer could be charged under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(a) (conspiracy). so far that part of the law is used only for smugglers, people who falsely claim “I hired a legal contractor who hired the illegal guy and had no idea” etc.)

It hasn’t been determined that they are making bogus claims.

So, there’s that.

Working their way the heck back outa the US.

That 5000.00 is only 10 percent of the savings.

I walked away from this forum after the first of the year.

I confess I’ve lurked…sitting in a drs office with time to kill I thought I’d take a look and see what y’all are chatting about.

In general…the same stupid people on the left are ranting about Trump but now those same stupid people look like even bigger idiots…

I don’t know if sending checks is the best use of the saved money….we are massively in the hole and running huge annual deficits.

That said….do you libs and democrats have any idea how dumb you look and sound. I’ve looked at two threads….the one about negotiating for peace in Ukraine. Looks like Trump has made more progress in a month than Biden at any point since he also created the conditions that allowed it to start.

Do you libs and democrats have any idea how completely out of touch you sound with your daily whining about DOGE saving us money. The size of government needs to be reduced, period. It should be obvious to everyone that too many people are slithering around with too much access to other people’s money. We are 37 trillion in debt running 2 trillion dollar deficits….common sense dictates that drastic changes are needed.

So far Trump has done the following….reduced Biden’s record setting crush of illegals to a trickle, it appears he is taking steps toward returning to a more peaceful world like the one we had before that idiot Biden showed up, and with the help of Doge he’s finding ways to save money. Too many people work for our government wasting too much tax money.

We’ve learned that libs and democrats far prefer the waste fraud and abuse to any level of responsibly managing the people’s resources given the amount of whining about common sense we the people keep hearing from the left.

I didn’t hear all this gnashing of teeth when pipeline workers were sent to the unemployment line by a single Biden executive order.

The democrats are the definition of pathetic in America today. But please keep it up from what I’ve read you guys are comedic gold.

Absolutely.

Interest on the federal debt in 2022 was about $475billion.
Interest on the federal debt in 2023 was about $875billion.
Interest on the federal debt in 2024 was about $1125billion.

Just cut the DEFICIT with the saved money. Even with that saved money we’re still gonna add to the debt this year. It’s time to change the trajectory.

Otherwise, what are we going to do when interest on the debt exceed federal revenues?
