well I will ask the question that has not been asked outloud. what about the hard working middle class people that struggle to stay afloat, but yet owe taxes and will never see this money? how simple is the formula in choosing "who" will spend the money? and what is the cost, again, for printing/mailing these funds and who pays for it?

my experience as a small business in the construction industry, people are "thinking" about remodeling and sitting on that for now. business is slow. my kitchen table discussion is about what on sale at freddies, buy one get one.

thank you.
