Abstract – It is anticipated that Congress will approve a $2 Trillion stimulus package with five main elements focused on helping workers and firms survive the temporary loss of income because of layoffs or work stoppage on account of following local, State, and federal orders to shelter-in-place and implement social distancing to avoid spreading the coronavirus. The Henry George School of Social Science believes that George would have applauded this rescue package – but not if the federal money flows directly to the pockets of land owners/building owners who collect land values for which not a finger is lifted to earn it. Each element of the package is described below, followed by what George would have said about it, ending with a recommended policy all cities should enact immediately to avoid this wrong.
