That's not the proper comparison. This is improper framing.
The point of this $5k being available is that it's not supposed to go to any of those things you just listed. It's supposed to not be spent/go to the debt.
Compared to that scenario, it will cause inflation.
Like flies to shite... Here's TDSFP.

This was your argument when DOGE was originally announced.

Why do you think I'm not for spending cuts as well?
I didn't. It was a general statement that arguing over giving taxpayers back $5k won't matter if Congress passes another $7 trillion omnibus.
If they pass a $7 trillion budget may as well give me $5k of my tax money back to use on homeowners as the ship goes down.

If there were only 20 million households in this country.
There are more than 6x that number. Youre looking at 700 billion to a trillion.

Here’s your check for 5K. Because you didn’t apply the found fraud funds to the national debt, here’s your bill for inflation. Also 5k.

You don't think paying people $150,000 each will cause inflation?
Over time? Maybe.
But what were the detriments of stealing the taxes in the first place?
Did they not falsely prop up people and businesses that did not deserve YOUR tax money?
Was it your money? Do you want it back?

Why not just give everyone 50k, it’s all fake money anyway and that is what the give themselves.

Too much common sense for most people. They think paying down .1% of the debt is going to make a difference. They don't understand how this is a good faith gesture from Trump. He's showing the people that the government is taking too much money from them. It would be stupid for Trump to expose all the graft and corruption only to say that he is going to keep all of our money anyways.
I've never seen so many people who bitch about paying taxes and having our money wasted now complaining because President Trump wants to return a little money that should have never been taken in the first place. It's retarded. Anyone against the government taking less from its citizens can no longer call themselves a small government conservative.

Why?
That's the point of DOGE
We are never going to deal with the deficit or debt with that attitude.

Small government conservatives care about the deficit and debt.

If you own a business and you found out your executives were stealing money from your customers and it’s put your business in debt, you reimburse your customers before you pay down your business debt.
Anyone who doesn’t want their money back is either a cuck or didn’t pay in.

Giving the money to consumers in a robust economy, many of whom dont pay taxes when you have a chance to pay down debt (DOGE is trying to save us money) is really stupid.
This is why populism fricking sucks.

Not sure who the money would go to, but let's say it's people that filed a return. That is about 165 million.
$5000 x 165000000 = $825 billion.
For some comparison, I found figures stating there was a jump of 8.5% in inflation the month after Biden's "American Rescue Plan" and that money was said by the experts to account for half of that inflation. The other half was an effect of covid, such as reduced supply side quantities. That plan provided about $600B that was split between state/local and unemployment benefit expansion. Then there was a $1400 check sent to 85% of Americans. That's about $400B, so it's about a trillion - if they sent $5k checks to 165 million tax payers, I'm guessing inflation would jump 3% or so.
Inflation is about money supply and circulation. Sending checks out like that would ramp up circulation so it would produce inflation.

Yes, it will. Inflation is caused by shifting the supply and demand curve for commodities. Giving everyone $5,000 would raise prices on every day commodities like groceries, electronics, etc, as now everyone can afford spending more money on them.
However queer plays are probably more affordable now with the reduced demand so you’ll finally have a chance to put yours on.
TLDR: Inflation isn’t caused by just printing money, it’s caused by shifting the supply/demand curve. Giving everyone money to spend more on the everyday things will shift the curve for those things thus raising the price of those things.
