Original Note:
NNN the claim is the checks will come from spending cuts, but the cost of sending every American $5000 is vastly more than the true $2 billion that DOGE cuts have saved thus far. The money would have to be printed to make up the difference, being potentially inflationary. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/19/nx-s1-5302705/doge-overstates-savings-federal-contracts
