For most people, the stimulus is just a bonus. Even if 30 percent of people lost jobs, they're the minority. I think the money would have been better used as a weekly stipend for those on unemployment, or those who lost income at least. I certainly don't need the 1800 bucks I got for my family of 3 on new year's, for me it's just money in the bank. I wish it could have gone to someone more needing, so maybe I'll donate it, but it shouldn't have even gone to me, is what I'm saying.
Since repayment will be a burden borne by the fortunate through taxation and inflation, isn't "checks for everyone" in a sense equivalent to "checks for the needy"? Except we all save the trouble of means testing, or the sting of missing out on a windfall.
