Doesn't have to be.

then it appears you are saying we don't need a stimulus
that kicks the economy into sustained growth.

You guess wrong: it doesn't have to be exclusively enabled by "sustained
activity."



if you put an unemployed person to work in
a road construction job that lasts six months, in six months
he is out of work again.

road construction project will contribute to future economic activity.

If no one is spending, the government must.
