Topic	Are overly generous stimulus checks & UI benefits a disincentive to work?
INTERWEBUSER 12/16/20 2:59:19 AM #1:	Are overly generous stimulus checks & UI benefits a disincentive to work? Yes, paying people more money to stay home & not work kills jobs. No. Are overly generous stimulus checks & UI benefits a disincentive to work? - Results (58 votes) Yes, paying people more money to stay home & not work kills jobs. 12.07% (7 votes) 7 No. 87.93% (51 votes) 51 The CARES Act paid a one time $1,200 stimulus check to most Americans and on top of that, $600/week in bonus unemployment insurance payments in addition to state level UI benefits. Some people were making more money playing video games & watching Netflix than they were earning at their former jobs. Now the congresscritters want to do it again, except with $300 UI instead of $600. And while the stimulus checks aren't in the latest draft bill, progressives have been demanding their inclusion. Do you think cash handouts from the government are good legislative policies that promote long term jobs & economic growth? Personally I do not, but am curious to hear different perspectives on the matter.
