I decided to do the math on the "covid relief bill". There were approximately 72 million income tax filers in 2020. If that 1.9 trillion dollars was divided among those filers, it would be ~$26,000 for each filer! What would help people hurt by covid more, $1400 or $26,000? Either way, it's still adding to the national debt, but at least by paying back to actual people involved with the U.S. economy, it would have some positive benefit to more people, rather than political payback to a few. This is another on my list of questions that you never hear any "news" people bring up. At the top of my list is why Iran should be considered for nuclear ANYTHING when they have all the petroleum reserves to meet their energy needs for a few centuries.
