I certainly agree the economy is important, had the money that the govt. put out gone to the people who needed it, rather than a lot of big industry, and some of Trump's best friends, they could have survived being down. If we'd shut down perhaps no more than a month longer we'd not be getting the peaks now that are forcing us to shut down again.

In 2008 the Bush Administration threw out money much in the same way, when Obama took over they added some accounting to it, and much was actually paid back as they bailed out the likes of General Motors. The wealthy, like the DeVos's didn't need a thing, but I believe they got millions. Many of the small business owners got nothing, or very little. Teams like the Lakers got money, but gave it back after it was revealed, there is no doubt that billionaires that own teams like the Lakers are losing money this year, but they're in no way hurting. The funds went out to a lot of people or companies that really aren't hurting, while those who'll probably never get back into business have largely been abandoned.

Let them put out a list of all who received the funds, then you can compare it with who needed it. I feel for all who've lost their jobs, or lost their companies, but if the money had been properly spent, they would be okay, but clearly it wasn't. At least Betsy DeVos can now add another yacht to her fleet, good for her.
