Fortunately, a lot of them were publicly shamed into giving it back.

Meanwhile, hundreds of billions of dollars went to people making less than $75,000 a year. Seems like a good chunk of the relief went to those most likely to need it.

The bills passed claim they're for "relief", but if you examine the contents much of the spending doesn't even occur this year.

> Only about 5 percent of that total is funding public health efforts related to the pandemic, according to the nonpartisan number crunchers at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB).
