Also I don’t want my tax money to go to people who just to collect unemployment and not return to work as jobs return either.

Don’t know about you, but even though I don’t “need it” I’d sure as hell spend it. Isn’t that the idea of a stimulus

I would definitely save it. Chico’s right, there would be serious diminishing returns by giving it to everyone. It should go to the unemployed.

Re: Coronavirus (political)

I find it odd people have a problem with individuals getting stimulus checks to "stimulate the economy" but there wasn't a big out cry when Boeing got 50 billion or the Kennedy Center got 30 million from the last stimulus bill . Like others have said if it is to the "people" fine . I'm retired and have a small pt job but this will cause my heath Insurance to go up(I'll spend it on that) ...I should be able to use this money as I see fit ,save it spend it , what ever.
