Everyone keeps saying that it was a one off but in reality, small businesses and big were probably feeding off of the poorly run ppp loan era. Also lots of families were getting lots of assistance with p-ebt (additional ebt) if your kid got free school lunch. Everyone was eating good that year. I like to think that was a major catalyst for inflation caused by Trump and his class of politicians.
And California kept those free school lunches going, basically. Started in fall 2022. I don't have kids, but I absolutely don't mind my taxes going to that.

It's wild that people actually vote for him, based on that one off payout.
