One of which is a billion dollar boost to Head Start, a child care program that was introduced in 1965. However, in 2005, 2010 and 2012, the Department of Health and Human Services showed it provided negligible improvements to a child\u2019s cognitive ability.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, one of then-President Lyndon B. Johnson\u2019s Great Society projects, the National Endowment for the Arts, which not only divided politics but the art world as well, is set to receive $135 million.<\/p>\n<p>Economists such as former White House economic adviser to President Trump, Larry Kudlow, and former director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama, Larry Summers, have said a multi-trillion dollar cash injection into the economy would have ramifications for decades, which would be a price too high to pay for a short-term political victory.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is nothing wrong w targeting $1.9 T.
