I would agree that the Fed, and States should spend on infrastructure. Actually, they should always be spending on infrastructure.
The whole point of recessions and depressions are to clear out the deadwood. Liberals (progressives?) never think there is any deadwood. They hate the big corporations, until they are going to go under, then they have to be saved. They don't have to be saved. If they can't do business at a profit, they shouldn't be doing business. You just can't keep making buggy whips.
Telling people to not spend their money is OK, as long as you realize that recovery will probably be moved back. Personally, I think people should individually decide what's best for them. That's the American way.
No person, group of people or government is smart enough to run the economy. We've tried that over and over again. The solution was the free market. That's the new idea.
