A bit more context would help, but if this is the package I think it is the government is not "giving" it away - it is in the form of loans or guarantees - and it is not to individuals, it is to businesses, so "giving xxx to the people" gives the wrong impression on both fronts. I see "unter das Volk bringen" as simply meaning that it will (potentially) be put into circulation - it is most definitely not about standing on street corners handing out 100-euro notes to passers by, which is the picture conjured up by some possible translations.





Germany on Wednesday laid out criteria under which struggling firms should receive state aid from a new fund worth around 100 billion euros ($126 billion).
Firms must be deemed important enough for the economy to warrant support, and show that they have long term prospects. Any aid they receive -- loans or guarantees -- must not lead to a distortion of competition, and must be approved by a four-strong panel of senior government officials due to be headed by Deputy Economy Minister Walther Otremba.

The fund, comprising 75 billion euros set aside for guarantees and 25 billion for loans, is tailored towards bigger firms. Smaller and medium-sized companies were targeted in the government's first stimulus plan last year.
