Of course they do.  You have to be pretty old to have an adult memory of stagflation and malaise.

If you listen to the Beltway crowd, the country is about to enjoy rising prosperity, thanks to all the federal “stimulus” spending. Biden is about to shower the nation in $1.9 trillion in new federal outlays and there will probably be more to come. Aggregate demand, to employ the Keynesian lingo, will rise, and that means that production and employment will rise. Happy days are here again!

You also have to be pretty old to have an adult memory of how many ways things got better once the painful transition out of it ended.
