Spending of little benefit (or even on counterproductive initiatives),

It depends on your goals, I suppose. Spending will always result in greater economic activity. The lower margin the goods, the more it stimulates. If the bulk of your spending is on high margin goods, like military weaponry, then the stimulative effect will be less than spending on low margin goods like the SNAP program.

So if your goal is to maximize the economic boost, then low margin is the way to go. If your goal is to reward the investor class, then a military buildup is the ticket.

Lower interest rates means you can borrow more money at the same recurring cost. For the rest, see above.

Here is a good take down on Austrian School.
