Why does the government provide “stimulus” to banks rather than just larger returns to low to middle income earners?
they did do that. _URL_0_ *almost* everyone got $600 cold hard cash. Unfortunately this money was quickly blown, often on imported goods that did nothing to support the US economy.
The Short Answer
they did do that. _URL_0_ *almost* everyone got $600 cold hard cash. Unfortunately this money was quickly blown, often on imported goods that did nothing to support the US economy. Quantitative easing was a more direct route to not just subsidize spending, but to facilitate liquidity for the market to operate naturally. There was also cash for clunkers, which IMO was a fairly ingenious plan to support the auto industry while reducing pollution. Unfortunately it turned out to be insufficient.
