WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - As the coronavirus threatens to push the
global economy into recession, the Trump administration is rolling out an
unusual idea: handing out free money.
President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday
proposed mailing out checks of up to $1,000 to American adults to quickly
pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the U.S. economy at a time when
airlines are slashing flights and officials are shuttering restaurants,
sports arenas and other public venues.
Though details remained unclear, Washington could turn to the playbook it
deployed in February 2008, when the Great Recession was just taking hold.
The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 provided payments averaging $600 per
person, injecting more than $100 billion into the economy within a matter of
months.
The payments were directly deposited into bank accounts by the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) to taxpayers who filed their taxes electronically, or
came as paper checks to other taxpayers. Individuals who didn't make enough
to pay federal taxes still had to file an IRS statement that year to get a
payment.
Economists concluded that it was one of the most effective measures deployed
to blunt the impact of the worst downturn since the 1930s. | V********u
