A proposed stimulus check linked to Musk’s target savings could provide significant financial relief to eligible households, with estimates suggesting checks of up to $5,063 per household. However, critics argue that large cash distributions might increase demand and worsen inflation, contradicting the objective of reducing prices. Analysts are divided on the potential effectiveness of such checks, with some suggesting that if funded through reduced spending and taxes, inflation impacts could be neutralized. The role of Congress in approving these checks adds further complexity to the proposal’s future viability.
Any stimulus check isn't going to help fight inflation if the goal is to make it go lower, because the dollars will mean more demand for goods and services.
Theoretically, if they reduced government spending and reduced taxes, or gave a tax rebate in proportion to that, it would not increase inflation, because GDP would remain unchanged since government spending transforms into consumer spending.
