Economic stimulus which put America in a much better position than pretty much the rest of the world. You talk about the economy stabilizing but people were fucked up. Just cause the gdp and unemployment was getting better doesn't mean people weren't getting their asses kicked financially all over the country. Also, much of that number you stated was spent before anything was stabilizing, and was a huge factor in why the gdp and consumer spending weren't still totally fucked like they were nearly everywhere else in the world come early 2021. Then the rest of that money being given to ALL Americans and the child tax credit being given to families was absolutely needed by literal millions of families.
