Now I don't know if stimulus is a good solution but I have no reason to believe individuals are any better than businesses in response to risk.
Good points.

But I figured that if business owners and employees get some help individually, they should be able to make mortgage payments or whatever. The business itself is not a person, it's jobs. Those jobs will be replaced by another business when demand returns.

Of course, it's not that simple. I'm sure the best solution is somewhere in the middle. I'd prefer help be given to those that need it though, rather than just whichever hand is out waiting for taxpayer dollars. (Collectors Universe, I'm eyeballing you right now.)

Responsible or irresponsible...it's about helping people in need due to a pandemic-related recession.
