I don't understand the government handing out money. If the government could make people richer by handing out money, why stop at $5000. Why not give everybody a million dollars? Yes, people will have more dollars to spend but the dollars they have will be worth a lot less. We should have learned that from the Covid stimulus checks. That triggered the sky high inflation during the Biden years. The same thing will happen if Trump goes through with this. I can almost understand the first round of stimulus checks because the economy needed a jump start but the next two rounds were overkill. I didn't get excited about the Covid stimulus checks because I knew they wouldn't increase my buying power. Neither will this if they go through with it. Government handouts are just a way of making people feel better without doing a thing to improve their lives. The only way handing out $5000 to everyone makes sense would be if they offset it by cutting government spending in other areas and we know they aren't going to do that, no matter which party is in power.
