The government would probably feel pretty stupid if they saw how the money they gave out to be used for supplies to resolve the outbreak problem be used in investment that would probably take some time before producing results.
Why would they feel stupid?
It would be great if all that money would be used for investment so that once this is over there is enough new business so the economic activity would recover far faster. Besides, it would also mean that people are not that depended on this check for survival so the situation is better than expected.
Not to mention that those that would receive the full stimulus check would be those on the lower end of financial power, which in all honesty, are probably in dire need of funds with their main source of income currently being cut off because of the current lockdowns.
And just one line later....now the people buy mainly food.
It resulted with bankers selling a lot of dog shit bonds to people, which resulted with economy bankrupting. What happened? USA got out of it fine, hell USA paid banks billions of dollars but got paid back with interest. It was other nations that got screwed. That is how much power they have.
Oh, it's again the blame everything on the US hour?
Why did the other nation got screwed? They either did the same mistake or they depended so much on the US to unload their shit for $.
I remember a discussion around here when I asked somebody why his own country entered a recession and he said one of the main reasons was the drop in tourism...Yeah, blame the US for your misery because US tourists are not spending money in our country anymore. How evil of them!
