The $1200 is about the price of a Made in China iPhone.
Rewarding China for the virus epidemic that might wipe out the Republican Party at the federal level is idiotic.
Relief should be more targeted, such as towards restaurant and airline sales subsidies.
Restaurant relief should come in the form of having the U.S. Justice Department join lawsuits brought by restaurants owners against the governors and mayors who shut them down. In the meantime, a Federal bill to make small business owners eligible for unemployment compensation would be worthwhile.
Beyond that, an extension of the $300 unemployment supplements would be a good move. It's helpful for those who are unemployed, but it's not so much money that they'll refuse to work.
Airline subsidies aren't for the airlines. They're given to the airlines to make sure those companies can fulfill the terms of their contracts to buy all the Boeing aircraft they ordered before this fiasco started. So those bailouts will likely continue, but not for the reasons you might think.
