Which would have been better for the US Economy?

The United States allocated $484 billion for PPP loans. These loans would be given to business owners and if they played the rules correctly... would not have to be paid back.

There were (roughly) 113 million taxpayers in 2019. If we would have given the 2019 taxpayers an even cut of the $484 billion... they would have received $3000 in 2020.

Do you think that would have been better or worse for the economy?

To the first part. Depends on what you call small business. And even then you have to make assurances that they are small business and that the money stays in the country.

There are quite a few shark type small business men that own multiple businesses.

To the second I just wouldn't be for it.
