You are talking about millions of dollars in the longer PER PERSON. Conversely, if you jam a couple of billion into the economy on infrastructure projects that you need anyway, it's temporary like ripping a band aid.

I disagree (to an extent anyway). Infrastructure investment isn't temporary like ripping a band aid. Large pieces of nfrastructure require tremendous amounts of maintenance and that maintenance is expensive (especially true for government where insufficient maintenance of publicly used infrastructure inevitably leads to injuries and significant lawsuits).
