In our counties business and the economy is booming. Restaurants need help. Very few people in our area need these stimulus checks.
Bars, restaurants, theaters, hotels, conventions, sports, anything where people gather... those won't come back until Covid has been dealt with. Doesn't matter how much "loose money" is pumped out or what the Texas governor declares. There have been some fits and starts, but I can't really think of anything more that could have been done in a practical sense that would have improved the development of the vaccine and its distribution. Truth be told, pumping out the money now might actually be too soon -- do it June or July when Covid has been brought under control and get people traveling and eating out and going to concerts and ball games.On the other hand, parts of the economy suck. It is said in Indiana 20% of restaurants have closed, and half of hotels are on the verge of closing.
