2. Why would they print out paper checks and mail them via the US Postal Service?

Hasn't Chump's administration done everything in its power to stop using paper checks, and stop using the US Postal Service? I'm completely skeptical of this story, because it doesn't track with everything else he's doing now.

For example, the Social Security Administration has all but eliminated mailing paper checks on a monthly basis. Almost every SSA benefit is paid out through direct deposit now, and indeed that had already begun before Chump came back to the White House, however he is speeding up the transition. As far as WIC and other benefits, I believe they are all distributed by direct transfers now.

Am I right about this? For Chump to suddenly announce that he's "mailing out checks to all Americans" ... why should anyone even believe this? It's complete hogwash ... and yes it would speed up the inflation spiral very quickly. But I just can't see it happening at all.
