WW2 put the nation back to work building military equipment and employing soldiers in the war effort. Whats being tried here is the next best thing unless you have someone you want to fight WW3 with. Problem is that the pump priming is not enough, not too much.
Re: WW2, it got us out of the recession in the late 30s not the depression of 29-32. FDR new deal worked well enough until they tried to become fiscally restrained too fast.

There is no evidence of that at all.
