What makes the economy work is a mix of supply and demand. High household debt and stagnant wage growth in the Middle Class is a massive part of the overall problem that have killed demand one the artificial credit bubble was removed.

You don't counter this simply by artificially increasing supply. Government spending is part of GDP after all and programs to help the unemployed or poor do go right back into the economy. If you cut spending too fast you risk weakening the foundation while you remodel the upstairs.

No.. Making them productive individuals is how you strengthen the foundation
What we do now weakens it. We are getting to the point where soil can't support the building
