Comment on In today's term what is the middle class in the US? If the government wanted to help the middle class and poor how would they go about it? Beside the toss money at the problem solution?

Give the money to the people that will spend it to stimulate the economy. Stop giving the money to people who don’t need it.

There are countless proven ways to do this. There are also some good ideas like UBI that would be worth a try. Tried and true ways like raising minimum wage, progressive taxes, providing training and education, subsidizing healthcare/schools/childcare, etc.
