Are you for or against the federal?

None of this is free money. It is paid for either by the former labor-product captured by the various governments in the form of Federal Unemployment Tax Act, general income taxes, etc or through borrowing against expected labor-product contributions in the future. The working class created (or will create) this wealth and I see no problem with the working class, a class that is dispossessed and most at risk of losing material security during a pandemic getting some of our labor-product returned to us in order to prevent the spread of, and potentially worse economic devastation due to, the pandemic. In fact, I generally support much more expansive measures than this to make sure the working class is kept materially secure, like making sure the working class is no longer dispossessed in the first place and making sure that we have control over our labor-product directly. You know what is free money" though? The fruits of state-privilege and capitalism that the non-working upper-class or partly working middle classes funnel from the working class. See: Declaration of Independence, of the Producing from the Non-Producing Class (1844) When, in the course of human events, the producers of property have been reduced to the lowest state of degradation and misery by the almost universal usurpation of all property and power by a non-producing, tyrannical, and aristocratic class, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to cease ultimately being tenants to land usurping and non-producing lords; in being journeymen to masters, shoppers, and manufacturers, to produce fabrics to which they are mostly entitled themselves, and in being electors to elevate officers of parties and cliques instead of those of their own classes We hold these truths to be self evident: That as the natural wants and powers of production of all men are nearly equal, all should be producers as well as consumers. That, as nothing but labor bestowed upon the natural elements and products of the earth can produce property, nothing else can give title to it; and hence every man is equally entitled, with the same exertion, to an equal share of the soil, water, air and light. That, to perpetuate an equality of property, life, liberty, knowledge and happiness, each mans power of accumulating should be limited to his own manual and mental labor, and exchanged for that of another according to the time of production and value of material. .
