Re: Yeah, that's the ticket! It's bad. It would be a record in any day's dollars!
We have a GDP of $11-12 trillion -- so the thought of $1 trillion to get things moving again isn't absurd on its face, the actual plan ought to be considered.
When you're out of work, sometimes you retool -- you buy some new clothes, take a course or two you might need, spend money seeking that employment -- and as a result, you get that next job.
In this case, there is some make-work fluff here. They're trying to get "main-street" consumers employed and spending again. We probably wouldn't want government to do stuff like this in normal times.
But there's plenty of "we need to do this anyway" stuff here, too.
