To be clear - it's 7k for each person in the entire country - not each recipient. So the amount received by the actual people getting the benefits is far, far more than just 7k. Think about it this way - the average household income is something like 55k in the US. Even if it were just the far lower 7k number, that's nearly 13% of income. That maps out to around 6 weeks of work/income for which the member(s) of that household must work for to then have that money taken by government and given to someone else. And that's the best case scenario, using the lowest number. Households with multiple earners making larger amounts pay an even higher percentage towards all of this.
