Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about Doge,

memes, and facts. So there's a lot of bad information floating around about Doge. So we're

going to run through three pieces of information. Uncle Bob will be posting to Facebook as fact.

Number one, Doge Dividends.

So, we've talked about this in general on the channel, and I am skeptical of any massive disbursements to begin with. But another little detail has surfaced that is definitely going to

upset some Trump voters. The suggestion is that the checks

would only be sent to net taxpayers. That means most of those people with an adjusted gross

income of under $40,000 would not be getting a check. Exit polls suggest that Trump won this demographic. The short version is

that if you were somebody that $5,000 would be life-changing for, well, you probably won't get a check.

Just in case you think this is liberal spin. Here's a quote from the person who came up with the plan.

Quote, this exclusively goes to households that are net payers of federal income tax.

And what that means is that they have a lower propensity to spend and a higher propensity

to save a transfer payment like the Doge dividend.

This is justified by saying it would prevent it from being inflationary,

and there's some logic in that because it won't all be spent.

But it also means it won't go to those who need the money the most.

It'll mostly go to those who are comfortable

enough to save it. Number two, New York Times spending. There's a viral claim that the U.S.

government gave the New York Times tens of millions over the last five years or so. One of the most cited numbers is 26.9 million from

Health and Human Services, and there are a lot of various claims. Add them up, and you're

talking about a massive amount of money. The claims are normally paired with some kind of

accusation about buying coverage.
