I have already stated my opinion, but I'll be happy to do it again: Government can not and has never been able to stimulate an economy. It wasn’t until 1946, when government cut down its intervention in the economy, that the country emerged from the Great Depression.

I'm basing my opinion that government can not stimulate an economy on my studies of Austrian economics. If you're not familiar with the writings of Rothbard, Mises, or Hayek there is a wonderful web site available to provide educational material in print, audio, and/or video: mises.org. I base my opinion that the Great Depression did not end until 1946 on knowledge gained from Rothbard's America's Great Depression and the writings of Robert Higgs of the Independent Institute (Independent Institute Working Paper Number 59).
