My understanding of the stim is that it's addressing the cashflow problem. Income tax relief would only help months down the line and require too much "IRS math".
The economy is currently like a manual engine that has its fuel line temporarily blocked. Without a constant fuel feed, the engine stalls and startup will be a bitch.
The best solution to squirt some gas directly into the intake to keep it running for the time it takes to dislodge the blockage.
The income tax solution would be like adding fuel to the tank instead of directly to the engine.
