They won't be back where they were. Some of the people won't be fired, and even the ones who are will have had a year's worth of employment; a year's worth of income; a year off of the unemployment rolls; and a year's worth of participation in the economy.
It is to be hoped that the $5000 will buy more than that for as many as possible, but it's a good deal even if that's all it buys.
And how is any other recovery prevented by this?
