Just remember there is no such thing as free money, at this point every dollar they "give" us is costing both a devalued dollar and taxes that we pay indirectly.
The problem with our govt right now is its no a zero sum accounting. Aside from in most cases social spending is simple bribery, they come up with this spending, say its paid for through increased tax income either via more money being moved which is taxes or higher taxes from certain sectors, they are bragging about deficit reduction right now, yet none of it has actually happened, they just pretend it will as they plan for it to and even so we go another trillion in debt and devalued dollar for the year, However even if you don't take it, it doesn't not get spent, it just gets spent elsewhere later.
We are so far down that hole, may as well take advantage of what you can when you can and most importantly retire as much debt as you can.
