Economic concepts?
How's this sound, unemployment is at near record levels and those people consume, doesn't matter what they consume it is irrelevant. Their lack of consumption will have a knock on effect that sees sales drop and companies let more people go in reaction to lower sales.
I think the money handed out has had more effect than people realise and when it dries up, or if it does, the hurt will arrive.
The current situation flies in the face of all economic principles.
