If you are going to do stimulus, the way we are doing it now is better. Even better still would be to drop money from helicopters. There's an argument to be made that we have done too much over the past ~10 years and are risking significant inflation, but that's a separate argument and it's hard to say what else we could have done that would have been better. Inflationary blowoff is usually less painful than deflationary depression, but neither is good. Policy is often an exercise in choosing the least awful option.
