so if we took the 700B and redistributed this money to the bottom 85% of earners in the US based on household- in my estimation that would give each household about 8,000 a piece. just wondering if that would get people spending or help them get goign to that a difference would be made on the individual level. Or would it be more beneficial to give the companies the money and hope that it "trickles" down somehow.
