The government hands out stimulus payments every spring.

Come on, man. This is peak inconsistency.

Do you like government handouts? Because if you don’t, you can’t turn around and use one handout to justify adding another one. That’s the same logic as arguing SNAP should be doubled by going out twice a month because it already goes out once. I’m guessing you wouldn’t accept that argument for five seconds.

If it only works one way it's not logic. It’s just an argument from inconsistency. If you want to defend the policy, defend it, but don’t base your argument on points that shift based on who’s holding the pen.
