I am sorry friend, but your suggestions albeith well intended, would not work at all.
Throwing money at the economy isn't going to help it. The reason? There is no crisis, there is no problem with the economy.
They have created one, for us to be worried about to push their agenda. Numbers in a computer a very easy to manipulate and they do so at will.
Giving everybody money means the government would have to get that money somehow, and the only way to do that is to borrow it from the Fed. This is turn only furthers the cycle of debt for money and money for debt.
The only way to "jumpstart" the economy is to begin dismantling it from the top down and rebuilding it so that it actually works in favor of the people and is not manipulated by others with deeper pockets.

Hey government, build roads and fight (and win) wars and deliver the mail if you must.....but stay out of my business and my home.

Well actually I am a business owner, I own several fairly successfull businesses and I have not been hurt by this economic "threat" because I've run my company effectively.
Furthermore,
Your countrie's money, is controlled by a PRIVATE, let me say it again PRIVATE CORPORATION that is not regulated by ANY state, federal or world government.
They can do as they please and control the flow of money and effectively the economy at the stroke of a pen.

Hey,
Here are 3 ways to pull the US out.
1) Tax rate drop to 0% for New Manufacturing businesses and possibly existing manufacturing - this is the only way we will see an increase in the manufacturing base. Better to have Americans employed, paying taxes and spending money in the economy than taxing non-existent businesses (thus getting nothing) because they went overseas.
2) Direct recapitalization of mortgages at 0.5% from the Fed... see link (don't comment on it until you read it please) (This would have worked if done months ago... now we wasted Trillions on Banksters)

3) 100% energy independence with liquid fuel (algae oil) see here:
