Another 20% will return to taxpayers. The remaining 60% will be added to next year’s budget, Miller said.
“We can move to the next fiscal window and then lower our overall spending levels,” he told reporters at a White House news briefing on Thursday. “That means you can achieve that permanent savings.”
Miller’s comments on Thursday came after Trump said he was considering the idea on Wednesday.
“We’re thinking about paying 20% ​​back to American citizens and lowering 20% ​​to pay off their debt,” Trump said.
The check is not included in the email. At least there isn’t yet.
