Erm, just to point out that Hoover wasn't a Do-Nothing. If you want a Do-Nothing, try Calvin Coolidge or Warren Harding. One could argue he didn't do enough (as FDR was even more outrageously interventionist than Hoover was), but he certainly was very interventionist.
And I have to ask the same question I asked for bailout- where is the money coming from? There's no such thing as free lunch so someone's got to pay up, and any borrowing to finance investment is kind of self-defeating and practically always a losing proposition.
