COVID-19 has caused unprecedented economic destruction in the U.S., and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act attempted to mitigate the damage to household finances by providing stimulus checks worth up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per dependent child to a large segment of the populace.

In fact, the research revealed there are four things Americans believe would be more effective at preventing economic disaster than another check.
Here are the items that top our wish lists, along with some good news -- the CARES Act has already done some of them.
