On the obviousness of the Hunkydory benefits of stimulus spending

Imagine, if you will, a primitive society of 80,000 humans in a land named Hunkydoria.

Sadly, things were not so A-OK in Hunkydoria, as those residents, before an age of economic collaboration, scratched out the most menial and austere lives imaginable, when in disunion all had to fend for themselves.

At last one day came a man of great wisdom, whom for purposes of this story we shall call "Rex", who slew his naysayers and slanderers, armed only with the weapon of powerful vision.

"Hear me, my fellow Hunkydorians! Our time has come! We are mere denizens no longer; from this day forward we are CITIZENS!"

But that transformation required an economic system, of course, and a spirit of cooperation with which to imbue it. And MONEY... can't forget the MONEY, the true focus of our story.

So was structured a society of agriculture and raw material suppliers, food and tool producers, clothing manufacturers, carpenters and builders, and bums. Always there are bums.

And there was money, although, in truth, its usage predated and inspired most of that new economic structure. "This will be your medium for exchange. These 80,000 bucks will be backed with the full force of our aspirations and our anger!"
