the facts about government spending
On 7-Aug-2011, wrote:
"Food stamps also help stimulate the economy more than other forms of
government spending, points out Jim Weill of Food Research and Action
Centre, a charity, since their recipients are so poor that they tend
to spend them immediately. When Moody’s Analytics assessed different
forms of stimulus, it found that food stamps were the most effective,
increasing economic activity by $1.73 for every dollar spent.
Unemployment insurance came in second, at $1.62, whereas most tax cuts
yielded a dollar or less. All the talk in Washington these days,
however, is of cutbacks—even for the hungry."
Of course, the asshole teabagger Republicans don't give a crap about
the poor.
People with the I.Q. of a 3 day old carp "think" your defunct country
consists of democrats and republicans, and never miss an opportunity to
prove that fact.
