A: While a stimulus payment is popular for the people receiving a check, its effects are generally short-lived and without many long-term benefits to the economy. Reducing or removing barriers that allow new businesses to start and grow is generally more productive for the entire economy. Incentives to bring established manufacturing companies back to the US provide more opportunities for local economies, instead of benefiting a foreign country.
