I guess fiscal conservatism is no longer a goal to achieve.

:In the long run, it's probably a good idea for fiscal conservatism. The economy can't just be shut down without it losing fiscal momentum. If businesses think they can ride a short recession out, they won't shutter their business, close their branches or scrap their establishments. In return for paying fixed costs with no hope of recovery for those months, they can get a lifeline from the government for not doing the things I mentioned that costs the economy a lot of money, risks a cascading fall (like dominos) into depression and puts their employees at financial risk (they can get part of that money you mentioned from unemployment insurance as much as businesses can).
:The Congressional Budget Office, which works for both political parties in Congress looked at the effects on the economy, and they said the stimulus was an effective move. If you are blaming Trump for the Wuhan Virus bill, he deserves the credit for it that you didn't mention as well.
