Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., signaled he was not a fan of a proposal to send Americans stimulus checks with the money saved by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and that he believed the funding was better directed toward the national debt.

"Well, look, I mean, politically, that would be great for us, you know, because that gives everybody a check," Johnson said during a Q&A session at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday.
