Trump Pushes DOGE Redistribution20% Back To Americans
Former President Donald Trump is considering a plan called the DOGE Dividend, where 20% of government savings from efficiency cuts would be returned to taxpayers. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), supported by Elon Musk, claims to have saved $55 billion. If the plan goes ahead, $11 billion would be distributed to American citizens. However, the actual savings amount is disputed, and it's unclear how payments would be handled and who would be eligible. Implementing the plan would require Congressional approval, which could be difficult given political divisions. Legal challenges are also anticipated, as the dividend is tied to cost-cutting rather than economic hardship. Another $11 billion would be used to reduce the national debt, currently at $34 trillion. Some argue this amount is insignificant and that cost-cutting could negatively impact government services. While the DOGE Dividend is gaining attention, it's currently just a proposal. Its future depends on Congressional action.
