If I were in charge, I would try to combine (1) a temporary but much broader federally run unemployment system, with (2) measures to prevent short-sighted reallocation of capital resources based on contracts (say leases) that did not adequately anticipate this kind of disruption. My strong emphasis would be on (1).
Part of my perspective is that I remember being very, very annoyed by the bailout of the automakers in 2008. Now, though, I think "where were all those workers going to go?" Would I have really been better off if we had hundreds of thousands more unemployed ex-autoworkers, and no GM? Ultimately, I think Obama made the right call on that.
I am just arguing that in this case, gov't support for struggling individuals and businesses seems quite justified to me, and I think actions meant to support a return to something like the status quo in 2 years are probably wise.
