Giving everyone $2000 is not even a good progressive action. It's completely out of touch with the people who really need it.

Okay, so how do you means test in a quick way to determine who needs it? Is it just those who are unemployed? What about the ones who don't qualify for unemployment? How about people who aren't unemployed but have seen their hours or wages reduced?
