People should be able to do that.

I hope it didn't appear that I was saying otherwise - I was purely stating an observation.

I would feel that way about any kind of government payments, "aid" or otherwise. However, I think it's especially true for money marked as economic stimulus payments. That money is specifically meant to... stimulate the economy. It's meant to be spent.

Even rich people "playing" with money stimulates the economy, because they are spending the money.
