Means testing also COST more than not doing it. Not to mention the delay. Absolutely absurd! Trust the People. It is THEIR money, NOT the government's.

I saw cash to all but also boost tax rate for the rich to even it out. That way the rich are paying something back.

listen to Katie, Mitt, and all the other economists. Stop being like trump and thinking tax cuts are the way to go. And stop obsessing with means testing, that just adds red tape which slows delivery.

Just give people money, for the love of God... if you really want it back, tax it at marginally increasing rates up to 100% for high income earners *after this is all over*.
