Scenario A) Unemployed person gets a check, goes to the store and buys food, a magazine and some socks. Does this "grow" the economy? Not a chance. It sustains some existing businesses, at best.
Scenario B) Millionaires keep the money they have worked for. They invest in their own business or in the businesses of others. Factories are built, distribution channels are expanded, exports increase, workforces expand. Does this "grow" the economy? You bet.
The idea that unemployment checks stimulate the economy is something that stupid people say.

The money to pay for the unemployment results in increased taxes for the small business owners and they lay off workers.
