Money dropped from a helicopter is no where near the same as building a road. One employs people
if you drop money from helicopters or give tax cuts or build roads (huge part of stimulus) even BO agreed it puts money instantly back in economy where it creates artifical demand that requires artificial non sustainable employment to supply!! 1+1 =2
See, thats the problem with this argument.
You think the government spends $700 billion and then its just gone. You think its a math problem where you just do one simple addition.
In reality you would have to follow the path of those dollars through the economy to determine its impact, a fairly hard task.
The end result is that stimulus has an effect even after the money is spent. Its not even debatable.
