>the lion's share of that money handed out for covid relief wasn't given to people. Wrong [1]. 1.8T directly to people, 1.7T to businesses. I'd not call that a lion's share. >It was corporations that, once again, walked away with most of it. And a significant part of that was to pay, you guessed it, people :) Of the 1.7T to businesses, 835B went to paycheck protection program (i.e., people wages) , 85B to a delay (not handout) of employer payroll tax (so this will be paid back by the businesses), and a significant number of loans, not handouts, that have to be paid back. And keeping companies alive, i.e., jobs available, has vastly better long term economic value than simply giving it to people, since at some point those people will really like having a job for a continued income. Tell me again of the 1.8T given to people, how much was loans that have to be paid back? And what is that ratio for the business side?
