Many of those on the left feel that the first stimulus wasn't enough, and that we should double down or triple down with another couple trillion or so of increased spending. Irrespective of how you're going to pay for it, why do you think more money spent will make a difference? Sure, we'll get a temporary boost, but why should we think the effects will be permanent? And, since the shovel ready jobs weren't really shovel ready the last time, why should we believe this time will be any different? Thanks.
