"[We are considering] a new concept where we give 20% of the DOGE savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt..." -President Donald Trump

[PJMedia.com] On Tuesday, Elon Musk responded to a proposal from James Fishback, CEO of Azoria, regarding a unique idea: the "DOGE Dividend." This initiative aims to issue a $5,000 tax refund check to approximately 79 million American families, funded by a projected total savings of $2 trillion from DOGE. Fishback emphasizes that this dividend would not only compensate taxpayers for the misuse of their dollars but also help restore trust in government accountability. (Image: iStock-Viorika)

Fishback's argument is compelling: the DOGE Dividend represents a social contract between taxpayers and their government, a much-needed refund given the egregious waste uncovered. As Fishback puts it, "It's high time for the federal government to refund money back to taxpayers."

This isn't just about getting a check in the mail; it's about reinstating fiscal responsibility and empowering citizens. With daily savings of about $1 billion from DOGE, this could be a substantial catalyst for economic rejuvenation—boosting spending and helping many who are currently burdened by debt. There are, of course, inflationary concerns, but the bottom line is that our money was misspent and we should get some of it back.

Musk was impressed by the idea and said he'd bring it up to President Trump. Trump has responded. He announced on Wednesday while delivering a speech in Miami at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, that he is exploring the "DOGE dividend" proposal.

"[We are considering] a new concept where we give 20% of the DOGE savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt," he said. "Because the numbers are incredible, Elon. So many billions of dollars. Billions—hundreds of billions—and we're thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt."...
