Personally I think it's not the smartest of ideas.

First, like the Covid-era money give-aways, it's highly inflationary.  However, Trump made noise that he'd like to see the USD weaken and a DOGE give-away would do just that.
Second, fiscal and monetary conservationism would warrant that the all DOGE "savings" be applied to paying down the National Debt.
 

Well, Trump doesn't want to raise the debt ceiling for no reason!

Trump toys with 'DOGE dividend' — but the math doesn't add up yet

 

The DOGE team has begun to put its work online and is claiming $55 billion in savings so far thanks to an array of actions from fraud detection to contract renegotiations to workforce reductions.

The group has only provided a detailed accounting for the savings from contracts and real estate actions. Those add up to less than $9 billion in savings.

Jessica Riedl, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, calculated the real confirmed savings so far are closer to $4 billion, which she notes translates into a dividend of $2.42 per person.

 

SHHHhhhhush! That's what the dems are getting. 😁
