>>> It's intent was to stimulate the economy. Which it did. Of course it didn't. Even Krugman today points out that the GDP "growth" is largely a result of government spending and as such may well result in a downturn when government quits spending. Just as happened with FDR's "Roosevelt Recession", and which dragged the Great Depression out into a protracted affair. Government spending has never ended a serious economic downturn yet.
