Non productive would be referring to stimulus checks and child tax credit money in the US, you will hear stories about families making 10-15k and using it for Disney trips, all that did was incentivize not working and paying of people that made the decision to have to many kids. It’s also caused the bottom of he job market to see increased pay while the middle and upper markets get pay decreases in the form on inflation. All in all not worth it IMO.

My understanding was that the stimulus checks and child tax credit were not remotely a majority of the money spent; that most of it went to corporations.

Bolstering the bottom of the distribution in advance of inflation/recession seems like an amazing outcome to me.
