We don't have the ability to target checks very effectively. For example, it isn't possible to send out checks to people who have lost their jobs because neither the federal or state governments have that info. We could send to people on unemployment, but that misses all the people that are out of work but not on unemployment. I think targeted money would be better, but if we can't do that I'd rather give money to too many people than too few.
