DOGE Check Timing Revealed?<\/h2>\n

The concept of a DOGE check, which proposes distributing 20% of government savings directly to taxpayers, has recently gained notable endorsements from President Trump and Elon Musk. While the proposal has been met with some skepticism, including from key members of the Republican Party, James Fishback, the 28-year-old hedge fund manager behind the concept, has continued lobbying for its adoption. In recent days, Fishback revealed that he met with Musk and commenced discussions with lawmakers. In an interview<\/a> with the NY Post<\/em>, he also asserted that there would be a proposed bill relating to a DOGE check coming very soon. He doubled down on this assertion during an interview<\/a> with NewsNation.<\/em><\/p>\n

How much credence should be given to Fishback\u2019s claim?<\/p>\n

Fishback\u2019s Claim On DOGE Check Timing<\/h2>\n

Fishback has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill promoting the DOGE check concept and said he had several promising conversations on the proposal. He posted a video<\/a> on X showing a brief encounter with Elon Musk, saying, “Great chatting with @ElonMusk about the DOGE Dividend. Grateful for his immense service to our nation.” He has also interviewed with NBC News<\/em> and appeared on Fox Business\u2019<\/em> “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street”<\/em> to discuss the DOGE dividend check.<\/p>\n

While the timing of a DOGE check did not come up in these interviews, Fishback dangled an enticing crumb during an interview with the NY Post <\/em>on February 27. “The president supports this, and Elon likes the idea of incentivizing people to report waste, fraud, and abuse,” Fishback told the publication. He also asserted that “the proposed bill will be coming in the next few days.” I contacted Fishback via direct message on X and asked him to elaborate on his comment and clarify what bill he was referring to and precisely where and when it would be introduced. He didn\u2019t dispute the timing attributed to him in the NY Post<\/em>, but also didn\u2019t elaborate. His only comment was succinct: “Stay tuned!”\u200b<\/p>\n

During an interview with NewsNation<\/em> on March 4, Fishback reiterated his claim, telling host Blake Berman, \u201cI am optimistic a bill is forthcoming to put President Trump\u2019s vision for DOGE coming full circle into law. It isn\u2019t just enough, Blake, to identify waste, fraud and abuse. We have to refund the taxpayer their hard-earned money when their money was wasted and misused, and that\u2019s what the DOGE dividend calls for.” When pushed on why he was optimistic, Fishback responded that \u201cthe plan will be revealed in the coming week or so. I don\u2019t want to break any news right here.\u201d<\/p>\n
