    they will rationalize anything to uphold their beliefs.

    Stop getting caught in his strawmans and tangents.

    FACT: Poverty rate in the US has not declined in 70 years. Despite 15+ trillion dollars. Its clearly not working. its INDISPUTABLE

    This "For every dollar spent on welfare spending we gain $1.50" is the biggest bowl of turds ever served. I could sit here and spend hours showing him how wrong that is, but he wont listen. If he believes that, then everyone should quit their jobs and the govt should just send us checks every month. Problem solved.

    I mean, if every dollar we get from Uncle Sam is worth $.50 more than it was to begin with, we have solved the economic crisis.

    He doesnt understand or care where the $1 originates from

    Then , despite the trillions in public programs we have spent money on, is the labor participation rate at its lowest?

    If John Q earns $100
    Govt taxes $10
    Govt gives Jimmy $10 in welfare
    Jimmy spends $10 at John Qs store
    John Q collects $10 and pays taxes on it again

    How long until this model expires and ends?

    Eventually you will run out of money to take from John to pay for Jimmy. Its that simple. But you dont understand simple concepts. The problem with your study is its talking about stimulus. Stimulus comes from tax revenues, when the social programs outgrow the tax payers, its game over.

    See Greece, France, Britain, etc

    You need private jobs and sector to generate funds to pay for the stimulus. Stimulus is artificial, its not sustainable or real. if it was, then nationalize EVERYTHING and have at it.

    Biggest misrepresentation of fact in history. I don't know anyone in the history of economic research who thinks what you just said would be true

    But go ahead, explain. But first, what makes you more qualified than the researchers who figured this out?

    Charts and data from the BOLAS are opinion. Got it. I remember saying this earlier:
    you claim opinions as facts and facts that dont agree with your views as opinions.


    Biggest misrepresentation of fact in history. I don't know anyone in the history of economic research who thinks what you just said would be true
    Not surprised, close minded people have trouble accepting facts from ideology

    But go ahead, explain. But first, what makes you more qualified than the researchers who figured this out?
    Let me see how this plays out

    NOPE

    next.

    In simplest terms this is what happens in the American Economy
    If John Q earns $100
    Govt taxes $10
    Govt gives Jimmy $10 in welfare
    Jimmy spends $10 at John Qs store
    John Q collects $10 and pays taxes on it again
    People pay taxes that pay for things in the budget, eventually it becomes unsustainable. Taxes pay for programs, you cant claim taxed dollars spent, and then taxed again as "revenue". The money doesnt appear from thin air. you are depending on John Q to continue earning $100 , if his revenues fall, (because of higher taxes, competition, etc) then it hurts Jimmy. the solution is to have jimmy work for John Q.

    Drawing conclusions that said charts don't support = your opinion. Just so we're clear.

    Yeah. I know. You should read what you've been posting.

    So then all you have to do is post one study from one economist who says that $1 in welfare =\= $1.50 in economic growth. That's all.


    BTW, you do realize that everyone who pays into the system doesn't take from the system, correct?

    If it's just an opinion that it all works then tell us how it all works aside from the "we make $1.50" BS.
