Shér question. Mostly, government leaders have
i against it, and have found ample backing
among economists in and out of government.
The telling argument has been that, as presently
conceived, a public works program is too slow and
unwieldy an instrument to be reliable. Since it

rolling, government can never be sure that its im-
pact will not coincide with a "natural" upturn
