There’s a lot more in the stimulus than checks for people.
Anyway, it would help if people left their emotions out of the conversations and attempted to learn and discuss the benefits.
Economics is a field where no two economists agree on much.
- ratsmack 6y agoI believe only 9% of the $1.9T stimulus is for individuals. The rest is for a multitude of projects and bailouts. Edit: Actually, it's 9% for covid healthcare and 21% for $1400 checks to individuals, which would mean 70% goes for the projects and bailouts.
- nabla9 6y ago> Economics is a field where no two economists agree on much This is a myth. Here is short list from Mankiw https://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2009/02/news-flash-economists-agree.html https://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2009/02/news-flash-economist... When economists agree on something, it is rarely discussed in economics. You just read it from the textbook. This may skew the perception.
