Strassel: The DOGE Dividend Would Depend on Them ‘Hitting that $2 T Number’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GIGOT: “This is something  Democrats should have been  doing.  if you want the American public  to trust government you ought  to be able to expect government  to deliver what it promises.  this is a good effort at that  but what do you think of the  dogee dividend that might be  going on?  is that a good idea or could it  be one more entitlement check?”

STRASSEL: “As with everything, it would  be how it was structured.  is it going to be to the people  who pay taxes or is it going to  be political pressure to do,  for instance, what happened  with those Covid checks, you  are tapped out, didn’t get  those checks if you earned more  than a certain amount of money,  how much could it be?  that would depend on dogee  hitting that $2 trillion  number.  when people talk about the  number people are saying is  $5,000 a check, that would be  premised on that.  there’s also real questions  dealing with an inflationary  environment, do we want to send  spending cash to people in that  environment?  we have a long way to go.  dogee has until June of 2026 to  hit that number.  this is something in the future  if it were to happen at all.”
