is that it is directed at tax relief instead of spending. There's nothing wrong with the helicopter drop of money on the Treasury.  Such an action would merely provide the Treasury with the ability to implement fiscal policy of any kind -- tax reduction or more spending -- without increasing the debt. And that's only helpful because people have become fixated on the idea of debt without taking into account the fact that debt incurred at the ridiculously low interest rates that currently exist is really no debt at all.

The policy would just be another transfer of wealth to the rich, however, if lower taxes were the result instead of more spending, and since the rich have already proven in the last two years that they are too afraid to spend or invest, the whole effort would be wasted on them.
