Both Paul Krugman and well-known Monetarist Anna Schwartz called for a much larger stimulus program.

The macroeconomic effect would have been as they predicted. But without accompanying consumer and business deleveraging through bankruptcies and foreclosures, I believe the result would have been like that of Japan.

Japan: A growing government sector debt, and an economy which falls back into recession within months of ending each stimulus program.
