12. "the injection of TRILLIONS of dollars a year"

there is no injection going on. The proposal is not: print trillions of dollars and hand them out. Financed through taxation, in the details as laid out. Money in, money out, modulo our usual deficit financing, with whatever impact on inflation that has, currently not much.

The reduction in job hours and increase in consumer demand would increase employment.
