The stimulus checks made sense when people simply weren't allowed to work. I lean very right with my fiscal opinions and I can understand why we stimulated since government (with no choice!) created the quarantine issue, and people needed to eat. But now, with so many open jobs and no one willing to fill them, they should not only cut the stim checks but cut back on other forms of assistance to force people to go out and work and learn new skills. Until this happens, inflation will keep rising.
