Notice how all the talk about "fiscal responsbility", "budget deficits" and "national debt" all got muted ahead of the stimulus package? Must we suspend our wits for this?
So we inject $100 billion into the economy via government payouts. That is $100 billion that we will have to find somewhere else. In addition, it is not a frictionless transaction--we need to spend additional resources to service and consummate all the transactions. That service fee should add a few billion on top of the payments.
