Unless there's a substantial multiplier effect, it sounds like a rounding error to me.

From a GDP perspective, not my own bank balance. <g>

The national debt will rise (or fail to fall) by that amount, resulting in an increase in interest rates which will take that much and more out of the economy. If anything is left, it'll go to pay electric bills in California and for gasoline in the rest of the country.

There's no free lunch.

JMHO.
