To everyone with a brilliant idea for saving the economy, one really important question you need to ask: does it involve building an entirely new IT/admin system? Or giving money to a group that isn't defined in an existing database? If so, maybe rethink.
Eg 'Govt should give direct grants to renters/landlords/pub-owners/etc' - unless it has a list of them on file, people are going to need to apply, which means a big information campaign to make sure they're aware. Not impossible but much harder/slower than using existing systems.
(For all I know there are databases with lists of the above on - meant as indicative not definitive.)
(I am once again stealing @TorstenBell's point here but it's a really important one because I keep seeing a lot of this around)
