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.
That is putting it into the economy. You purchased assets. That put that money into the economy...
