The best way to guarantee the highest number of people who need a cheque get a cheque in the quickest fashion, is to cut everyone a cheque. Agree or disagree?

What I was trying to say is the greater economy is doing fine right now. A general injection of money into the economy is not a dire need right now. If that was needed, then I'd say sure give checks to everyone.
I don't know if it is the fastest way to get real money to the people. People with direct deposit all got it quickly. A lot of poorer people don't have that set up, and have to wait a few weeks for debit cards to arrive that can be kind of a pain to try to use for things like rent, etc.
I don't think $2000 is near enough for the people who really need it, and really is not efficient at all at trying to get them their jobs back either.
In my mind I just see this as equivalent to Louisiana getting devastated by a hurricane, and helping them by sending a $2000 check to everyone in the country.
