Just to clarify, those of us who were laid off from nonprofit organizations do not necessarily get the same unemployment benefits as everyone else. Mine ran out months ago, since I worked for the Minnesota Historical Society. I also hadn't looked too hard for a new job at first--since I was told my furlough was temporary. It is these people who lost incomes and whose benefits dried up, who need help. Everyone, does not need a government payment.
