I wish we could know how much of the stimulus the government got back in the form of lottery tickets. On the Howard Stern show, 3 of the wack packers admitted spending all their money on lottery tickets and scratch offs. Wendy the Retard said she won $600. But she was sent $1400. She said, "still that's better than nothing" But you know she turned around and spend the $600 on more tickets and lost all that too eventually.
Then there's booze, cigarettes, drugs, other forms of legal gambling, etc.
But then again, who cares? The money was sent to stimulate the economy. Not just to help people pay their bills. And we sent stimulus to way too many people. Why would someone on disability or social security need a stimulus? Their checks kept coming in during the pandemic.
