The article discusses the emerging concept of 'DOGE dividends' proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency, suggesting that savings from budget cuts could be returned to taxpayers through $5,000 checks. While Elon Musk and President Trump show interest, experts are skeptical about its feasibility. Zachary Liscow highlights that any distribution of checks requires Congressional approval, and the claimed savings by DOGE are exaggerated, questioning the realism of Musk's aspirations to save $2 trillion.
"In terms of technical feasibility, can the government send out a bunch of $5,000 checks? The answer is yes," Liscow says. "But there are major challenges with doing so."
"It's wildly unfeasible, it is impossible, for Musk to save $2 trillion in a year and a half," Liscow stated regarding the unrealistic goals of DOGE.
