They have one real shot to spend 2 trillion dollars. The problem that needs solving is helping people and businesses who have been hurt financially by COVID. The best solution is the solution that can direct the most of
that money to those people. A solution that only sends somewhere between a quarter and a third of that money to the people affected does not strike me as a good.
So yeah it is bothering me that money is being sent to people not affected that takes away from money that can help people affected.
You keep saying “need” but I don’t use that word. The pout of this plan is to help people who have had deep financial impacts from COVID. If direct payments cannot be better targeted to those impacted, then it is probably not a good solution.
Yeah Biden and the Democrats promised the money and I get the argument they should follow through. That doesn’t make it a good policy though.
