    $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.
