Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett appears to have dismissed Elon Musk’s proposal – a $5,000 rebate check intended to refund Americans for funds lost to the federal government’s rampant waste, fraud, and abuse – as nothing more than trivial spare change for everyone. However, for those of us dealing with skyrocketing rent and bills that refuse to wait, this notion is a masterclass in cluelessness.

According to the Daily Mail, Elon’s proposal to dole out a DOGE dividend led to Crockett saying to ABC News, “We are not in the business of giving out money, and honestly, I don’t know what $5,000 will do for you…”

Not in the business of giving out money? PUH-LEEEEEZE. That’s all the Democratic Party does.

And as far as $5,000 not doing anything for Americans, she’s an elitist idiot. Americans could use the money for a variety of essential needs – repairing a car, covering a vet bill for a cherished pet, taking care of urgent home repairs, paying for gas to visit a loved one…the options are endless.

Ahe chorus of critics, including outspoken commentator Clay Travis on X, called out Crockett’s disconnect to average Americans and Travis called Democrats “tone deaf.”

Crockett, however, is not the only one opposing the DOGE refund. You can add House Majority Leader Republican Mike Johnson to the list as well. When he was at the CPAC event last Thursday, he said he’d prefer to use the money to pay down the debt instead of giving us our own money back Why is it NOT SURPRISING that politicians on both sides of the aisle always want to keep our money???!!!
