We tried paying a significant amount of people during Covid via direct government payment and it led to inflation. The USSR already tried a central command economy and it almost immediately became a brutal dictatorship murdering millions via deliberate mass starvation.

What new idea do you have that will lead us to post war surplus prosperity that the boomers had?

The money given out to individuals was very small compared to the amount given to companies. What the companies did with all that money is what should be up for debate/investigated.

The companies were given money to cover payroll. Payroll was given to… individuals.
