Honestly I hope they don’t send checks. I’d rather see the debt paid down. We pay about 1 trillion in interest a year.

Donald doesn't pay his debts.

I totally agree. Trump is a populist. Musk is pragmatic, probably goes along with it because he knows who's in charge. Trump and the electorate. The electorate will certainly going to notice negative impact of DOGE.

If we want to stop and possibly lower inflation, they need to reduce the debt. It’ll cause some pains at first but long term, it needs to be done. I went to the grocery store and it was 150 for one person for one week.
