Well in that case, why does the government need to spend the money at all? The government should just print money and hand it out to all of us so that we can buy lunch. Why does the money have to go through other hands first?

You do understand that stimulating the economy to create demand which in turn creates jobs means that people now unemployed and under employed will once again be paying income tax on their earnings to increase revenue raised by the government, don’t you?
