    That’s literally a big part of your argument…that we could give everyone all 340 million people in the usa…1million dollars…which is so much money the entire worlds gdp wouldn’t cover it. It’s a silly discussion point.

        Even if you got it from every billionaire and millionaire.

        You do know what 340 million multiplied by 1million is right?

        It’s more money than has been printed in the history of the world.

        I can’t believe I’m having to even state this…

          Dude, you are so focused on an adjustable detail that you are completely missing the point. There is a number that will work. Covid stimulus checks proved that even a small amount of money can make huge difference in the economy, imagine what a substantial amount will make?

          It doesn’t even have to be all direct payments. Investing the money in universal health care alone would free up an incredible amount of household cash, especially if it also forgave ALL medical debt.
