6. To be honest I do not think giving people money is the answer.

Or atleast not the answer we need for long term recovery as most of the people would be better served by simply having jobs that actually paid enough to pay their bills and have enough left over to set aside for retirement.
No, what we really need for a good stimulus bill should be done by cutting defense spending by 2/3 and shifting the money into infrastructure spending like roads, dams and bridges as well as education and medical care for people as all of that would create a massive number of jobs.
Far more even than what spending the money on defense does.
