The bill failed to get the requisite votes to move forward. For more perspective on what kind of stimulus might be best today, we reached out to two professors of economics, J. Bradford DeLong and Michele Boldrin for commentary. A decade ago, DeLong and Boldrin battled on the topic of economic stimulus in the context of the Great Recession.
In March , the University of California, Davis hosted a notable debate between the two professors, who disagreed vehemently about stimulus spending in the context of the Great Recession. Both then and now, DeLong favors big, broad stimulus packages. A decade ago, Boldrin had his doubts about whether any stimulus would help fix problems in the financial sector, and now he maintains a view that limited, targeted spending is the best strategy.
Professor DeLong, who teaches economics at University of California, Berkeley, argues that the role of government is to pull out all the stops in order to get the economy back on track. His metric for judging the need for stimulus is inflation. Professor Boldrin was staunchly against the idea of government stimulus to address the housing and banking meltdown that caused the Great Recession.
When it comes to measures to help resolve the Covid crisis, Boldrin argues that fiscal stimulus needs to be carefully targeted and carefully managed. For Boldrin, fiscal stimulus targeted at specific industries would be most effective, rather than monetary policy.

The end result is that the economic recovery is further delayed. Brett Holzhauer is a former banking and personal finance reporter for Forbes Advisor.
