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.


Sorry micheal that is not quicker. It is effective in that it will add to GDP, but it's not quicker than direct, immediate cash payments for basic necessities. The stimulus was passed in early 2009 for just those sorts of projects, yet it was projected then that most of those jobs would not kick in until 2010-2012. And until the projects start and the jobs begin, there are no paychecks and no cash infusion into the economy.
