Not very...at any rate, the market doesn't seem to think it would be very effective; have you noticed how it swoons everyt ime we come one step closer to war?

 The US economy is very open,
so much of the demand leaks out.  Unlike the world of WW II, the US is not
using goods that are produced using technology comparable to durable
consumer goods.  Instead, it depends more on very high tech, with
relatively little labor demand; suggesting that it will shift wealth more
toward the rich, lowering the boost to aggregate demand.
