As long as the money is given to folks who need and/or will spend it, it feels like this is the exact situation where the federal government steps in for stimulus.<p>There’s no <i>pull yourself up by your bootstraps</i> talk right now and there shouldn’t be.<p>I know the single parent working a couple of jobs will spend every dime they’re given in a time like this, just to survive. A yuppie like me would just park it in my savings account until I feel we hit bottom, then invest it.<p>I’m not the type of person you want to give money like this to. Save it for folks who are really living hand-to-mouth and don’t shortchange them.
