WTF do you think "unemployment" means?
And to what "science" are you referring?

Food stamps offer best stimulus - study - Jan. 29, 2008
The report pointed to expanding unemployment benefits as the program that gets the next biggest bang for the buck. That's because, although the unemployed are already getting checks, they need to spend the money. For every dollar spent here, the economy would see a return of $1.64, Zandi said.
The OP was wrong its 1.64 not 1.50.
ECONOMISTS STUDY butt bites
The fact is unemployment is one of the best stimulus means along with food stamps.
Now go find an economist that says this type of spending will harm our country.
We can't stand the truth and that truth is:
Every dollar spent on unemployment compensation returns $1.50
Every dollar spent on lowering taxes returns $0.40
Look it up.
That is without question the most stupid thing ever posted anywhere, anytime, by anyone on any topic.
That's my opinion. I could be wrong.
However, by that logic, if the Feds spent every dollar available on unemployment, we would be rolling in dough. I suppose that the guy who exhorts to "look it up" just needs to present a little proof.

The measure of a good stimulus cannot be the arbitrary quotation of a number that is not supported by anything other than some proponent's biased opinion.
The only measure of a stimulus is what has been stimulated.
If additional unemployment is stimulated and that was the goal all along, and that appears to be the case here, then the current program is a success.
If a robust economy that is producing jobs and wealth faster than ever before is stimulated and THAT was the goal all along, and that is not the case here, then the current program is a failure.
I tend to view the current program as a failure. What is your measure of success?

No. You make the claim. You provide the documentation.
So are any of you asswinks going to appologise to the OP for pretending he was not more right than you were?
I know, I know, you little cons will be along any minute to spew hate on these pointy headed elite economists and their fancy pants edumacation and and tricky confusing sceince.
There is no amount of court documentation, scientific study and comman sense that will rip your brick lined brains away from the propaganda reports at Fox that allow you to keep backing failed ideas.
