    Cmon now, Burchett is a vol and part of the Matt Gaetz gang. Not much cred even among pubs.

    This is an interesting idea

    The DOGE dividend could become law: ‘The bill will be coming in the next few days’

    The proposal for a “DOGE dividend,” which would distribute 20% of government savings to taxpayers, has gained support from President Trump and Elon Musk — and now it could potentially be enshrined in law, The Post has learned.

    +

    Under Fishback’s proposal, households that are net taxpayers — those who pay into the government more than they receive in benefits — would receive 20% of all DOGE’s saving.

    Another 20% will go to paying down the national debt and the other 60% would likely be allocated to the budget each year (Fishback doesn’t explicitly state that).

    According to his math that would mean roughly 79 million households would get a $5,000 check each if Musk is able to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget he’s estimated he can trim.

    Ha, Congress should just go ahead and vote themselves a raise instead of this ludicrous end-around.

    It’s also in the constitution that Congress members can lie and slander on the house floor and suffer zero legal consequences….
