Even the income-based criteria isn't a catch all. And I'm a fine example. I'm a state worker. In March they sent me home, and I only got called back in September. But that entire time I was getting my paycheck, accruing my PTO and hell, even got my annual raise. I'll take free money if the government wants to give it to me, but the $1,700 that I got didn't go back into the economy, It's in the market and it's now about $3,000. 

It would take a much smarter mind than mine to do better targeted stimulus that doesn't have a lot of beurocracy to it, but I think that is what Fred is after.
