DOGE-Backed Stimulus: $5,000 Checks for Americans, But Is It the Right Move?

Washington, D.C. – In an unprecedented move, the U.S. government has announced savings accumulated through the strategic deployment of DOGE-backed assets will be distributed directly to citizens in the form of $5,000 stimulus checks. While some hail this as a much-needed relief for struggling Americans, others question whether it’s a wise economic move, and if there should be restrictions on how and where the funds are spent.

Another big question- Is $5,000 even close enough considering the 110+ years(even longer) this all has been going on? The global suffering, unneccessary deaths and genocide, technology hidden, knowledge hidden, truth hidden, human suffering, homelessness, starvation, the countless atrocities stemming from the above- never ending wars, poisoned food and water supplies, the for profit medical and healthcare systems, the air we breath, etc.

The Pros: Direct Relief for Struggling Americans

With millions of Americans struggling financially—many upside down on loans, behind on bills, or buried under high-interest debt—this injection of capital is expected to provide immediate relief. Unlike traditional stimulus programs burdened with bureaucratic inefficiencies, this direct cash infusion cuts through the red tape and places funds directly in the hands of the people.

Additionally, those who choose to save or invest the money may contribute to long-term economic stability. The hope is that responsible financial planning, whether through savings, investments, or reinvestment into local businesses, will promote sustained economic health rather than temporary relief.

The Cons: Wasteful Spending & Foreign Leakages

One of the primary concerns critics raise is how the funds will be spent. Historically, stimulus programs have seen a significant portion of funds flowing to foreign economies due to the import-driven nature of the American consumer market. If recipients use their checks to purchase goods from international suppliers, the intended domestic economic boost may instead contribute to foreign economies.

Another concern is that some Americans will squander the funds on luxury items, non-essential purchases, or speculative assets, failing to generate meaningful economic stimulation. Others argue that large lump-sum distributions give financial institutions and market controllers additional leverage, allowing them to manipulate the economy while everyday citizens see little long-term gain.

Keeping the Money in the U.S.: National or State Borders?

Some experts propose that funds should be restricted to U.S. businesses only, ensuring that every dollar contributes to domestic economic growth. A more extreme approach suggests restricting spending within state borders, encouraging local economies to thrive rather than allowing capital to pool in major financial hubs.

However, such restrictions could face significant resistance from corporations and online retailers with global supply chains. Enforcing spending limitations could also introduce logistical challenges and regulatory headaches.

A “People’s Treasury” – An Alternative Model

Rather than a one-time payout, some economists and policy advocates suggest that the DOGE savings, and any similar governmental financial windfalls, should be held in a dedicated ‘People’s Treasury.’ This fund could distribute recurring monthly payments, similar to Universal Basic Income (UBI), ensuring long-term support rather than a short-term economic boost.

This approach could be coupled with other financial innovations, such as:

  • Gold-Backed Dividend Dollars: A form of stable currency tied to precious metal reserves, ensuring intrinsic value.
  • Crypto-Backed Dividends: Government-managed crypto funds that distribute dividends generated from liquidity provision, staking, or running blockchain nodes.
  • UBI Alternatives: Other sustainable income models that provide consistent financial support rather than sporadic stimulus checks.

Considering the general direction of the world, technology, advanced robotics, A.I., Quantum technology- a UBI type program(s) will have to be utilized to simply keep society “moving” in the positive direction.

As one option- Blockchain could be utilized as an overlay over the daily actions and interactions of each individual as a catalyst for “contribution” to the “system of things”. Currently, our data itself is a goldmine for large corporations and they typically pay for it. In essence, everyone would be contributing just by living their daily lives in a positive manner. Supplemental income, people can still produce or work, price control /protection from blatant price gouging until the dust settles from transitions, no more Federal Reserve/no more fake inflation, create a United States bank protected from Banking cartels and the apparent evil-possessed power players, audit and update regulations on banking sectors, audit and update regulations for Stock markets and other financial markets…

The Bigger Question: Should We Keep the Savings?

For decades, the U.S. has funneled trillions of dollars into foreign aid, military spending, and global investments. Some argue that instead of distributing the DOGE-backed savings immediately, a significant portion should be retained and reinvested into national infrastructure, healthcare, and education, ensuring long-term national prosperity.

The debate ultimately centers around one question: Is it better to give Americans direct relief now, or to safeguard these funds as a financial lifeline for the future? As the government rolls out this initiative, the coming months will reveal whether these $5,000 checks truly stimulate the economy—or merely serve as another short-term fix in a long-term financial crisis.
