Just give everybody who pays taxes 20 grand that they promise to spend.

I'll spend mine.

I could pay off all my debts, buy a car and put a down payment for a house with that.

My wife and I were discussing it the other day. We are about 100k in debt including the house. I told her that according to the experts we should go out and get 50k in credit card debt and buy a 50k car on credit.

Then we could say we doubled our debt so therefore our financial problems are over. We stimulated them out of existence.

Does that math add up?
