<p style="font-weight: 400;">Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett, responding to reports that the Trump administration is considering dividend payments to Americans derived from savings created by the Department of Government Efficiency project, stated of the federal government, “We are not in the business of giving out money,” although she had championed the idea when proposed by Democrats.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We&#8217;re thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% back to pay down debt,” President Trump said on Wednesday at the FII Priority summit in Miami.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He’s not the one who had anything to do with the $1200 refunds that people had during the midst of COVID. That was done by a Democratic House and Democratic Senate,” she claimed to ABC News, referring to the COVID stimulus checks of the CARES Act that Trump indeed signed into law. “Right now, what they’re going to do is say, ‘Hey, we want to give you a refund but Congress won’t let us.’ Because they already know that there’s just no money for that.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The only reason that those refunds came before was because we were living in different times. This was a time in which, hopefully, we won’t ever go through again. We had a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. The bad part is that I don’t know if it’s once in a lifetime because we know that Ebola, unfortunately, was detected right here in New York recently, and if we continue down this road of getting rid of sciences or deciding that we don’t want to rely on experts as it relates to what they’re telling us to do, or we don’t want to deal with vaccines and medicine in this country, then we may be facing not only our next pandemic, but our next, two, three or four pandemics because of their incompetence.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The reports of the Ebola virus in New York turned out to be <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/east-harlem-health-scare-patients-treated-suspected-ebola-case-citymd-manhattan-nyc/15917133/">false</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“So, no,” she stated. “We are not in the business of giving out money, and honestly, I don&#8217;t know what $5,000 will do for you.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">ABC News: &quot;President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some of the savings from DOGE back to Americans as kind of a dividend. Would you support that?&quot;</p>
<p>Jasmine Crockett: &quot;No. We are not in the business of giving out money, and honestly, I don&#39;t know what $5,000 will do for… <a href="https://t.co/16y41bsNtd">pic.twitter.com/16y41bsNtd</a></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Yet <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EH_qh0VqVg">speaking</a> on “The Shade Room” last fall and acknowledging she still had outstanding student loans, Crockett said, “God, if you’re listening, we’re still waiting on our student loans forgiveness.” She added later of the stimulus checks sent by Democrats, as part of the American Rescue Plan: “You’d better thank the Democrats for them doggone stimmy checks. That is my message.” Speaking of child tax credits, “It was about kind of taking care of people, which is what Democrats do. In addition, you got other stimmy checks that came from — Joe (Biden) signed the other ones, y’all &#8230; Joe did sign more stimmy into law.”</p>
