    Well he did that because actually paying would be a crime and promising to pay a pleb money and backing out is just “business.”

    The smart people ask for it in cash up front. But, ya know, maga ain’t smert!

      $5,000 being directly given to you is really too good to be true. I first saw that number and was like “total bullshit” right away. Those stupid morons would believe anything.

        It’s just a check for double the COVID stimulus, before inflation, without the unlimited fraud of the PPP loans. In the grand scheme of a federal government that had $4.9t in revenue it’s significant but not insane.

        The unbelievable thing is that DOGE was claiming a $105b savings would pay for it. Even if they reached their goal of $1t it wouldn’t be enough.

        These people are just straight up too lazy to do basic math.
