More Stimulus = Worse Growth
A review of academic research on government size and economic growth concludes that increases in government spending or increases in government size on a sustained basis reduces economic growth.
I recently published a video breakdown of this topic on YouTube, outlining why a continued increase in fiscal stimulus will reduce long-term economic growth defined by real GDP per capita.

Not all government spending is bad and maximizing real economic growth is not always the number one priority of a government. Still, the literature is clear that a material increase in the size of the public sector defined by total expenditures as a percentage of GDP will result in lower long-term real economic growth.
