if Donald is the one that jump starts UBI, I’m gonna… man, I don’t know
What? Aside from the fact that this won't happen -- they said they'll only do it if they can "cut" $1 trillion, which they're not going to be able to do and keep a functioning government that can send payments -- this is only a one-time check

What’s the bet most go into his mates pockets rather than the American people?
This money will go to billionaires, not the people
Okay, so the whole deal about cutting is supposed to be to reduce the deficit, right? So therefore the whole savings should go to working on the deficit and the debt. Right? This dumb son of a b**** is like a family with huge credit card and other debt taking their tax return and buying a new boat because they got free money.
From the article:
“We’re thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt,” Trump said at a conference of business executives in Florida. “If it were a real-estate balance sheet, the debt is tiny, but we still, we still want to pay it down.”
Even if DOGE’s recovered savings could be split among the American people and the federal deficit—with 20% going toward each—it’s unclear what the president’s plans are for the leftover 60%.
Yeah, so guess who's going too get the rest of it even if it's something that stayed in his head for more than 5 minutes
