I like to think there's a significant amount of folks that could/would use that extra few thousand dollars they've never had to get a better job and/or prospects via a new (to them) vehicle, place to live, access to child-care, etc. That money is going to get turned back over into the economy practically immediately, relative to corporate bailouts. Folks who improve their situation will be contributing more to the economy, thanks to that payout....having said that, I honestly don't know how to balance that kind of wishful thinking with 20-30% unemployment. That's not "and everybody's getting raises too!!" territory.
