    Comrades, I'm struggling here. What is the full dollar amount of the $600 check stimulus bill (all the corporate subsidies, coup funding, etc.). I want to divide it out by the adult population and working adult population.

      $900 billion is the total stimulus part of the bill. The total budget spent on the bill is $140 billion, but the money outside the stimulus $900 billion is allegedly (I haven't looked at it) just normal government budget stuff to keep things running.

        It's about $6500 per working adult. That's enough to keep us home for a month. Maybe some of that money is needed for some essential govt. functions, but that's what taxes on the rich are for.

        So it's an appropriation of over a trillion dollars. Damn. Thanks.

        Edit: Maybe I misunderstood. It's 140 billion appropriation, plus all kinds of other stimuli, valued at a total of $900 billion. Either way it all comes out of the budget, so I suppose you can treat it all like real money.
