Demeaning? Did you think I coined it because I have so much respect for you ignorant fucks?
You tell us unemployment stimulates the economy, food stamps stimulates the economy and Failed Stimulus stumulates the economy and yet 3 years later we're 85% full employment and 1 credit downgrade already. If you're telling us Obama is doing anything other than willfuly and consciously dragging down the economy, then yes, you're his fullfer and you should have custom kneepads for your efforts
Food stamps and unemployment do stimulate the economy. In fact, they are the two biggest stimulators of the economy. Even more than the valued Bush Tax Cuts.
Moody's pointed this out back in January 2008:
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.
It seems to me you don't understand the concept of the multiplier effect. Or just the fact that people who are getting food stamps and unemployment insurance are going to spend every dollar. Meanwhile, people who receive tax cuts are far more likely to save than reinvest that money back into the economy.
And that, my Friends, is how you blow an annual trillion plus hole in the budget, get credit downgraded and terrify entreprenuers into sitting it out until your one miserably term ends by losing a majority of our 57 states
sitting it out, or adding jobs every month for about 2 yrs straight now?
