    All government spending uses public money. Either through taxes or borrowing (creating money).

    What do you think the purpose of a government is? Anyone who supports democracy will tell you it is for the benefit of the public.

    The icky thing about the relief checks is that Trump was taking credit for something he didn’t do. Even kindergarteners don’t like that.

    This was something Biden accomplished by directing the efforts of the executive branch. This was a campaign promise, and a long time career goal of his. He’s a politician, he’s allowed to explain how he used the lawful actions of the government to benefit the public. In fact, that’s what politicians in the executive branch are supposed to do, it’s their job.
