I think that depends on where those products are made. So many of our available products are made in China. Personally, I don’t think a country that is responsible for a pandemic should be rewarded, but many folks will be using their stimulus checks to purchase Chinese products and that I don’t support.
I also don’t support money going to prisoners. The argument to give them money was on the premise that they have families that might need that money, but I would counter-argue that family member may qualify on their own and many do not have families.
When my brother was attacked a few years ago by a meth head and left disabled, he refused to let his injuries get the best of him. He worked hard to regain the ability to walk and went back to work as soon as he could. He still suffers from his injuries. His assailant is still in prison. He will get a stimulus check; my brother who is faithfully paying his taxes will not. Our government made the decision to give checks to prisoners. I do not support this and I do not see how anyone in good conscience could do so.
