Hello
Giving bonuses puts the money in the economy, in a Keynesian sense.
Generally, extra capital means more capital projects are done. Capital projects mean jobs. True, they don't do anything for union pensions.
Uncensored, I agree that extra capital will mean that more projects will be done (and more jobs). But I dont think a business is going to embark on a project if they dont think it will sell.
Also, giving bonuses I suppose does put money into the economy, but only for a few people. Id rather have 1,000 people with $10 more dollars to spend each than 1 person with $100 more dollars to spend. Why? Think of products like Pepsi. A rich guy might have $100 but hes probably only going to buy the same amount of Pepsi as anyone else; therefore, companies like Pepsi benefit from a large subset of consumers who have spending power vs just one.
