My problem with this is everyone always says that it's not enough. We need to spend more. We need government to do more. At what point does that start to help? It is clearly not helping now.  At what level of spending and intervention does this begin to work, and what causes that to suddenly happen?

It's a nice trick. No matter how much government is already meddling in the economy, if things aren't going well, it's always evidence that the government needs to meddle even more - not less.
