I will just throw out a lifeline here to Trouble, since he/she is getting pummeled. A quicker way to create jobs could be for the government to hire people directly, like the WPA. I am not sure if the Goverment could do that practically, quicker than passing out money to poor people, but it is maybe plausible.

How could it be quicker to try to write the legislation required, and to set up the bureaucracy required, then it would be to utilize already existing programs that require virtually nada in terms of time to reach people?

That said, I'd be all for a WPA for the New Millennium. Especially if they'd include funding artists and writers as the original did.
