<p>White House senior adviser Stephen Miller spoke on Thursday about the an idea that the administration is kicking around involving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sending Americans &#8220;dividend checks&#8221; from wasteful spending that the department has uncovered.</p>
<p>Miller made the remarks when asked by a reporter at a press briefing about the dividend checks potentially giving taxpayers back 20% while another 20% would be used to pay down the debt.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sixty percent is left, who gets that?&#8221; the reporter asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, the way that it works is when you achieve savings, you can either return it to taxpayers, you can return it to our debtors, or it can be cycled into next year&#8217;s budget, and then it just lowers the overall baseline for next year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, in other words, you can just transfer it into the next fiscal window and then lower the overall spending level.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that means that you can achieve a permanent savings that way, and that reduces the deficit,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>When asked when Americans might actually get those checks, Miller responded: &#8220;Well, this is all going to be worked on through the reconciliation process with Congress that&#8217;s going underway right now, as you&#8217;ve seen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Senate is moving a bill. The House is moving a bill,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The president has great confidence in both chambers to deliver on his priorities.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would just take this opportunity to note that President Trump has made a historic commitment to the working class of this country to fight for a major tax relief and major price relief,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And cutting spending, as DOGE is doing, and cutting taxes is the key to delivering on both of those promises. And President Trump is resolutely committed to doing both.&#8221;</p>
