I get trying to stimulate the economy and more importantly for the generally rich politicians and their friends, boost the stock market. I just cringe inside at the long term costs of this method, and the fact that quite likely this is going to end up mainly lining the pockets of the wealthy in this country while the general population gets stuck with a massive long term bill.

I'm old though, and not that healthy, I have a DNR so I don't use up resources when I get really sick. I have done what I can to make the world a better place, not I just try not to use any resources and make it harder for people. I can't fix these problems, but it still hurts me to see them being created. I know there are other ways this could have been done, but the American people have no say in any of it, and even if they did, I sadly don't believe they would vote down anything that gave them money now, even if they had to pay it back later:(

While I can't say I don't have consideration for the cost at all, we are in a situation where the government is forcing places to close so I believe it is the burden of the government to make up for that in exchange.
