American citizens may soon receive a significant financial boost if the U.S. government follows through on its plan to cut spending and save trillions of dollars.

While this move appears to be an act of fiscal responsibility, it could also have unexpected benefits for $DOGE—given its name’s connection to a department led by Elon Musk.

This so-called “airdrop for the masses” could further fuel interest in meme coins, particularly those offering free airdrops, such as BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL). Below, we break down the details.

This move could also add goodwill to DOGE—the coin, not the department—which Musk has hyped on social media over the years. It sure could use a little boost, as it slipped to $0.25 in February after hitting a $0.46 high in December last year.
