I have to be honest. I am head of a family of 4 and one of our kids has special needs and our rent is high because of the location we live which we don’t want to move from because we get amenities through local school district. So getting stimulus of course it helps us.  

But do we NEED it for survival? No we do not. Many lower income earners also have kids with special needs, they don’t pay the expenses we pay, it’s not the country’s responsibility to undue my tight budget when we are choosing to live in a municipality that we are not required to live in.  

The priority for Covid stimulus as a country should be geared to those who cannot put food on the table,   cannot obtain a roof over their heads at any location within commuting distance of where they work, to balance the budget , and whose full time incomes are less than food, rent, utilities, transportation,   With support that the same shortfall did not exist before COVID or would not have existed now if not for COVID, evidenced by their past annual increases in salary.

If we limit eligibility to these persons plus healthcare workers, plus state and municipal public basic services, and essential small businesses,

With the same Govt disbursements allotted, we can provide higher stimulus payments to the segment of the population that really is directly hit hard, and for the rest of us who are just complaining 2020 was miserable, too bad.
