So very this. Anyone making this argument is secretly moralizing about economics. They can't stand the fact that "the government just gave away money to a bunch freeloaders."
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoI agree with GP, but people should be able to make an argument without others second-guessing their intentions.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoWhy?

- Aunche 4y agoThe only people secretly moralizing about economics is this chain of comments. The article never claimed that people were "bailing" or "freeloading" because of stimulus checks. It said that they were increasing consumer spending, which is objectively true and literally the entire point of them.
- reedjosh 4y ago> ... can't stand the fact that "the government just gave away money to a bunch freeloaders." I kind of feel this way, but about the free money given to corporations that didn't really need it -- not individuals.
- yucky 4y agoThis argument assumes the resulting inflation hasn't helped the rich and hurt the poor. But it has.
