is that eventually all this spending will have to get rectified down the line with major cuts on federal programs of some variety.

With that being the case, I'd much rather the federal money given out due to the pandemic given out to those that need it the most since that will make the sacrifice more worthy. In my opinion, those that are unemployed or local governments that have massive deficits are more deserving than those that are underpaid. From what I understand, neither will get any funding from this latest spending bill. If I am mistaken in that regard, my apologies.
