I think government assistance is why people are revolting a lot of the time. We're going to take "this" away from you. So what are you giving me back in order to help me through these tough times? Here you go a gold star for participation and one atta-boy. Thanks for your sacrifice.
It probably seems that way because the economy is shut down and the only government assistance that would make a difference would be to not shut the economy down. Printing money doesn’t magically make the businesses that are shut down somehow miraculously still continue to produce goods and services.
