The US Congress's choice so far to barely give anyone any money (during the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression) is a huge factor in keeping people from going out and spending. If the US federal government never gives us anything more than $1200, why spend that on a dining experience?

If Republican governors/state legislators actually want to save businesses in their states through the power of consumerism, they should tell their allies in the US Senate to give US consumers more financial security. Until then, "reopening" the economy won't do much to increase consumer spending.
