We have one friend who is a Trump supporter who lives on a main road. He keeps having his Trump signs stolen or damaged. He now put barbed wire along every edge of the sign. At night the wire is hard to see and anyone pulling the sign is in for a big surprise.
All kidding aside, if you just knew a little bit more, you'd be embarrassed by your posts. (But don't worry; you're safe from that ever happening.)
Not all ROI has to do with making more money. I know that's shocker to the righties who generally have no interest in purely intellectual pursuits. They are best at running the store. Simple stuff.
I thought you said you were putting kidding aside. "At the core of demand side economics is the focus on aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the combination of consumption of goods, industry investment in capital goods, government spending and net exports. When other elements of aggregate demand are weak, the government can mitigate their impact by increasing its spending. The government can intervene to generate demand for goods and services. Demand side economists support heavy government spending during a national recession to overcome the short-term low aggregate demand. Raising the market's aggregate demand will reduce unemployment and encourage economic activity, according to this theory. The government increases demand through spending on public goods and services as well as through its control of the money supply through altering interest rates or trading on government-issued bonds."

It has you very confused.
One more thing to add to the above. The left has gotten into the habit of calling tax cuts for the poor a form of demand side economics. But is it? No. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/13/obama-tax-cut-refunds-those-who-dont-pay/ When you send a check to people who aren't paying taxes and call it a tax cut for the poor rather than gov't spending, it is just an adventure in dishonesty. It is gov't spending. Back to where we started from. Demand side economics is gov't spending. Real tax cuts are supply side economics.
Trump is going to lose on Nov 8th but nothing would make me happier in 2020 than your party nominating Cruz.
