So stimulus works for large rich countries but not for small poor countries? Stimulus has to come from borrowed money? Why can’t we all just print money to stimulate our economies?

why can’t we just propose dumb solutions that nobody has proposed after other people have proposed practical things that have been shown to work in the past?

no. greece is less able to borrow money than the united states partly because it is much smaller

Stimulus has to come from borrowed money?

no. stimulus can also come from reserves or higher taxes, but some people seem unwilling to give up a fraction of their income to help fellow americans

Why can’t we all just print money to stimulate our economies?

why can’t we just all get rich in the stock market? where does “money” come from, anyway?
