In the US, give an extra $100 to people who make $26k a year and they will spend it. $100 spent generates sales tax, it generates corporate tax (at least for those corporation who pay it), it generates extra jobs to service the $100 expenditure and will generate extra tax from all that is produced.
On the other hand, I dare anyone in any country to not be able to quickly see many types of government waste! Another problem is that a lot of countries in the western world let their payroll inflate since the global economy was doing good. Now that we are facing a new reality it is going to be very hard for those same government to cut back without facing a backlash and creating more unemployment.
