The economy will improve...Eventually. However, if the government funds these new social programs through raising taxes, especially on corporations and businesses, it'll recovery very slowly thanks to a repression on businesses.
The big issue with the recession is that the government is swooping in and trying to save businesses, despite the fact they can, and should, fail. This will hurt the economy, overall, as corporations that didn't fail, and citizens that didn't overspend, have to bankroll bad decisions by those that do.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
