Maybe someone who makes a lot of money is stupid and doesn't have savings, they can be affected just as much as the poor person and generally more because the poor person already gets a bunch of free stuff that the "rich" person doesn't get. $90,000 (the cutoff) isn't rich if you have dependents, sure you should be able to survive for 1-2 months, but most people don't have a lot of savings and that $90,000 doesn't qualify for any free help for kids, healthcare, college, etc.

Again I disagree.  If you are not able to work and lose your source of income, sure you should get some help.  Someone like me that is fortunate enough to not lose my source of income even though I have had to stay home should not receive any form of relief check.

People "not having a lot of savings" is a social issue.  It was drilled into my head way back when I was in school to always have at least 3 months worth of expense saved up.
