TonkaMan, yes full court press puts it mildly

Fed and USGovt will put the pedal to the medal

have you ever been stuck in the snow with your car?
you hit the gas pedal, but make it worse?
you do nothing, and sheer gravity sinks you deeper?

govt policy has been at work since spring
the transmission has slipped
the car is not moving

I expect more of the same, with some shorterm stimulus to produce some shorterm results
but citizens might take the benefits and simply pay down debt
we will see

but for the majority of the stimulus measures, dont expect any meaningful economic results UNTIL DEBTS ARE CLEANSED FROM BALANCE SHEETS

this is the big deal overlooked by govt officials
newly printed money will not eradicate debts
maybe the USGovt should pay down $6 trillion in treasury debt, then pay down $18 trillion in corporate debt, then pay down8 trillion in household debt
THEN PASS A STIMULUS PACKAGE !!!
