Z, > If you're being perfectly agnostic about the purpose of the money, this is one of the best stimuli available.

There is nothing agnostic about calling unemployment checks "stimulus." It's a twist on Keynesian economics, which I doubt even Keynes himself would support because the key purpose is to "prime the pump."

Funding continuous unemployment runs counter to that purpose. I would even argue that it destroys the Keynesian model.
