(14,881 posts)I will also add that the crash caused many trillions of dollars to disappear into thin air, since home values plummeted and much "wealth" was lost in the stock market and never really regained. So putting trillions back in will bring the money supply back to closer where it was before the '08 crash. The $16 trillion given to the banks was supposed to do that, but failed since they refuse to circulate it.

Oh, I "got" what you were saying. I also explained why I don't think it applies; how in fact it would actually be less money circulating if money was given directly to taxpayers than if the banks had used their $16 trillion as intended.
Since you don't get that, then back at ya. There is nothing I can do to show you. Have a nice day.
