Not all of the latest proposals are Keynesian in nature. For example cutting payroll taxes is as close to a tax cut as you can get and only marginally Keynesian. Of course, this proposal won’t work very well because I doubt employers are holding back hiring because of 3% of the payroll.
But I like the track Obama is on, and the GOP could theoretically push this one out further if they had any vision. How about we just cut all payroll taxes entirely, forever? While I think we should eliminate all income taxes that isn’t what I propose we push for now. Instead pocket Obama’s concession and push for more. From now on, the cost to Employers to hire people is the agreed upon wage, period. That would be a real stimulus and really put us on a path towards advancing other economic and wage related values conservatives shares, such as a flat tax, fair tax/consumption tax, 9-9-9 tax or similar (I personally support repeal of federal income tax 16th amendment).

Okay! Now we are making progress! You make note of a “real” stimulus, and it sounds like it is debt-neutral, (that is govspeak for: we have no idea what is going to happen).
This is great news because ALL the unreal stimuli did NOT work!
I’m with you! Let us tell Dictator Obama right now!
BTW, I think it best if you tell him. You see, well, he doesn’t like me very much.
