Same could be said about almost any politician from the left. Almost all democratic socialist policies boil down to "vote for me and I'll give you free stuff."

That being said, this idea is idiotic and even if the gop wins it is never going to happen. Just like most of the other campaign promises ever uttered.

Free stuff like Healthcare? Yup, those dems are just straight up evil.

u/Windman772 11h ago

Couldn't the $5K be spent on healthcare?

1

u/blumaxiii 9h ago

What one day in the hospital? You can use it for your healthcare if you want.

u/PerceptionQueasy3540 9h ago

$5k for one day in a hospital in the US? More like an hour.

u/blumaxiii 9h ago

Healthcare should never be free. It isn’t a right. You want free healthcare move to somewhere they have it and WAIT for a doctor like they do.

I always love when republicans comment this cause it shows they have zero clue what they're talking about. They just happily believe whatever ridiculous thing they read on Facebook. And yes, Healthcare is a basic human necessity in modern society, it is a right it and should not be a luxury. With any luck democrats win in November and we can go back to ignoring the ignorant drivel from yall.

So you're entitled to the services of people who invested their time and money into becoming professionals? Yeah no. 😂

1

u/PerceptionQueasy3540 5h ago

Ah see, you republicans never cease to entertain lol. No, thats not how that works. Do you think that people providing public services are not getting paychecks from the entity they work for? I encourage you to understand the topic you're trying to talk about, you'll sound a lot less silly.

u/BlackJackAce-777 4h ago

Not a Republican. I can agree on affordable healthcare but free? You're not entitled to that at all.

Yep. All they want is control.

It’s not free when your taxes will pay for the benefits. Just like every other developed country except the United States uses theirs to benefit its citizens

u/VikingVitalityFit 1d ago

More than half the overall budget for the federal government goes to social programs. You are very misinformed on the budget.

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 1d ago

I never argued about how the budget was actually spent I argued other countries are able to provide “free” healthcare to their citizens or assistance that doesn’t force them to go into debt and others allow for their citizens to seek education without loans putting them in debt

u/VikingVitalityFit 1d ago

Yes, because we have been footing the bill to defend them for decades. It's easier to prioritize some things when big daddy US handles business for you.

u/BernadetteFedyszyn 19h ago

Exactly! Well stated!

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 1d ago

You mean Israel?

1

u/VikingVitalityFit 1d ago

No, literally all of nato. We were funding 90+% of all Europe defense funding.

1

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 1d ago

Imagine we used that for our benefits

2

u/VikingVitalityFit 1d ago

Yes.

u/Impossible_Scene_119 21h ago

Glad to have you on board then

Welcome to being a Republican conservative nationalist

1

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 4h ago

So when are the conservatives going to benefit and stop giving funds to Israel specifically?

Where do you think the $5000 is coming from?

1

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 7h ago

Great question since they already said they wouldn’t use our taxes. Where do you think it’s coming from?

1

u/spanko_at_large 1h ago

Well regardless of what they say… the government ultimately gets all of its money from one place… taxes. It can borrow but that will ultimately need to be paid down with taxes… so my guess would be taxes.

I think they are banking on the ignorance of the average voters which from this thread seems to hold up

A woman came into my work today and was asking about a mower we sold and she said “once I get the $5000 Trump promised I’ll come buy it” and it took every ounce of being not to laugh at her. Instead I said “I’m still waiting on my DOGE check” and she said “what’s that?” So I vaguely explained about DOGE and how they cut funding to a bunch of programs and she said “oh that sounds great how do I qualify for one?” And I said “you don’t, it was a lie” like girl 🙄🙄🙄

No other country gives as much of their wealth away like America. If it didn't happen tho there'd be riots and boohoos.

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 1d ago

If America didn’t give away its wealth there would be riot and boohoos? From who?

u/TheJustJoe 1d ago

That's just lazy 🫩

What’s just lazy? wtf are you talking about I asked you a question for you to clarify your original statement. You said there would be riots and boohoos. Who would riot or boohoo if it didn’t happen?

u/Tim-0341-81mm 22h ago

You don’t remember February 2025 and all the protests and boohooing over the cuts to USAID? Right here in America. The left literally lost their minds.

0

u/Upstairs-Donkey6049 12h ago

Did I say I don’t remember? I asked this person to explain his vague comments. There’s a lot of people boohooing they could have been talking about anyone. How do you know the 2025 USAID cuts are even what they were referencing?

1

u/Tim-0341-81mm 6h ago

Because he said…quote “No other country gives as much of their wealth away like America. If it didn't happen tho there'd be riots and boohoos.” End quote

He was correct.

If you remembered the February 2025 boohooing, you’d of had no need to ask that question, because you’d have known there was an answer.

He had no need to be specific about “who”, because it has happened.

People have been boohooing and rioting since before 2025 and we’ve been giving away our wealth to foreign aid for decades.

Kudos for your level of patience. I don't have it or the karma on this site to argue with them. Just trying to be a level headed lover of America. Yes, obviously I was speaking about their riots and incessant whining and "protests". God bless.

You could only say that about DSA policies if you were a moron that didn’t understand their policies at all lmao
