The issue is businesses are finding it difficult to make ends meet and are laying off workers. Those workers don’t have money to spend in other businesses. People who are working are keeping more of their money in their pockets because things are getting more expensive as inflation rises.Now, some in government want the government to spend the money on the unemployed workers, who they say need the money most. Others want the government to give the money to everyone so they will go out and spend it.They are missing the problem.
On some of the policy activist sites, you see complaints that this stimulus package only benefits the rich or only benefits the poor.  They are missing the point.

I don’t know anyone who can intelligently make the case that government doesn’t spend enough money. That is not the problem - and while outside the box thinking is fine, outside the planet thinking is another story.  Beware when both sides of the aisle agree on something having to do with money.

The point is not who should benefit from government handouts. There should not be government handouts - with a very small number of exceptions.

The government is proposing giving money it does not actually have to businesses and people, which they received from businesses and people in order to take more money from businesses and people when they spend it. This is the governments answer to stimulating the economy? No, this is the government’s answer to buying your vote. They all agree on this not because it makes good fiscal policy, but because they want to be able to make the case in November that they were the ones who gave you money.

You really want to stimulate the economy? Stop playing to the “what’s in it for me” gene we all have.

How about pay down our debt, stop spending so much, stop taking so much of everyone’s money and watch prices come down?
