I love how people think ideas like this = extreme socialism.

This wont drive people to be lazy or make them not desire jobs more than they did already. People are still greedy, most will still want to work because they will earn more money and  luxuries. This will likely be a stop gap, probably with heavy criteria, on the road to economic recovery.

Why not just let it recover on its own?  Why the massive government expansion and market take over?

 

The first option would take a few months.   The second option takes several years, trillions of dollars and alters the economic and social foundation of a country.
