Something like a Green New Deal, perhaps?
Yeah, I don't know exactly what that's supposed to mean, but to me a massive effort to rebuild our energy infrastructure around renewable energy has both economic and non-economic benefits that are hard to argue against.

There are $585 billionaires in the US (Wikipedia). Let's say we confiscated $1 billion from each of them.
It's dent in the budget, like I admitted, but not a huge one:

A Green New Deal would be a fantastic policy. And you'll find no louder cheerleader for infrastructure than me, but as I think you've told me here, there is debate about the size of infrastructure multipliers. Nevertheless, I'd get behind that idea, for many reasons.
