I vote Not a Lie: Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940). It's not his time anymore.

Well it if costs something under $1 billion every year just to print $1 paper bills (that are the current replacement for a dime), then what did it cost to print and mail that $200 check? Oh. It lowered unemployment numbers.

I agree. I think it was more like naïvety and wishful thinking.
