Stimulus Checks: Buying Americans' Support of the New Welfare State

As so-called "Economic impact payments" and boosted unemployment checks flood into bank accounts across the country, we can finally see the game like the players do.

The reason the public still broadly supports the bill - and why so many on the right have only tepid criticism - is that most Americans will only feel the bill's effect when they see stimulus checks land in their bank account.

Americans wanted sustainable, real economic growth based on work and earned income, not corporate welfare.

Want to boost support and silence opposition for the public option in Medicare? Just send checks to everyone.

Want to make it more difficult to vote against the Green New Deal? Add checks.

Infrastructure package? Federal jobs guarantee? Free college tuition? Checks, checks, checks.

Will we smile as we get our cut of the new welfare state? Will we ignore the damage we're doing to the truly needy, not to mention future Americans paying interest on this debt?
