So, if you have a trillion dollars to give to billionaires or a trillion to spend on government services, how is it that again that the billionaires would better stimulate the economy? And why have they not so far?

You do not hoard and refuse to hire UNLESS the business isn't growing. Are you going to listen to the mundanes who keep repeating the economy is getting better or are you going to listen to the ones who love to make money and through their actions show it?

Uncertainty. At least that's the usual word the job creators utilize.
