      Why I’m against it. The stimulus checks did help drive inflation. While it sounds nice to get 5k. It’ll drive inflation even higher. It’s a bad idea

          I think the earliest we will know is next year. I don’t see much changing until then. The severance package is very generous, which would prevent any savings from being seen until next year

          The question is, will they break the government with what appears to be an unorganized attempt at culling the waste?

            I’ll be surprised if anything goes as planned because it’s all so rushed and disorganized. I’m not convinced everyone will get their severance package.
