What I am seeing here from many is the usual knee-jerk reaction. No matter what, some are not going to be happy with what our government does or doesn't do. Maybe many here don't "need" the money. Fine. But can you imagine how long it would take for anyone who desperately needs it to get it if there had to be additional screening first? Some people here may have children that have been put out of work and need it. Send it to them. Buy food and supplies specifically to donate to food banks, etc. Pay someone's hospital bill whose insurance doesn't stretch that far. There are so many ways to put this money to use.

How about putting the money to good use, instead of complaining about it? It's a done deal, so now go from there. Complaining accomplishes nothing good.
