We make military hardware and then blow it up or obsolete it. So, actually making useful "stuff" is not needed to spur the economy. It makes no difference what the "stuff" is, but I suppose it would be nice if we could actually use it afterward.

Here is my favorite: a real triple whammy.

Lets take half the welfare people and hire them on a weekly wage to get the other half on welfare going forward. We'd even pay the clients a wage to participate. Every 6 months we would have a giant celebration banquet, and at the end of the banquet there would be a nice ceremony where one side switched with the other. They'd take turns, until they got real jobs.
