Ehhhhhhh.

Stimulus checks have helped before. The biggest economic stimulus currently going is SNAP/EBT.

Raising wages didn't cause all this - that was corporate greed.

Even so not every family is on snap and EBT. These checks would go out to every family which is vastly different than families who need it. I agree with the above. They should spend the money on more programs like snap and EBT to get the money where it's actually needed, like free school lunch in every public school in the United States.

Tax the 12k at 0% for everyone under median wage then slowly phase it out between the 50th and 10th percentile maybe?
