If we put: * $1 into food stamps, it returns $1.73 into the economy.

$1 into unemployment, it returns $1.64 into the economy.

$1 into infrastructure returns $1.59 to the economy.

$1 into State Gov't aid returns $1.36.

Tax Cuts do almost nothing. Very little return on your dollar plus they cause the Deficit to skyrocket

Effect of tax cuts: * $1 into nonrefundable tax rebates returns $1.02 next year. * $1 into permanent tax cuts returns less than $0.50.

1. Shove those numbers into republican obstructionist faces

12. Sure And where are you going to get a Corporate M$M to broadcast THAT to millions.

That's just not good business.

Full blackout, like the Pentagon Propaganda Story, or the usual 99% blackout with plausible deniability.

When you find an M$M to broadacst that, let me know. Good luck.

4. What about tax cuts to low income individuals - have to separate out who the recipients are

Money to lower incomes should act like food stamps whereas to Donald Trump they would have no effect

5. To the greatest page..

6. I have read many

many times over the last couple of years about unemployment that is true 1.00 in 1.64 out no doubt whey don't more senators bring that up ?

7. How does that recession map line up with red states politically?

Texas, Alaska & Oklahoma all have oil profits to count on, but what are the Dakota's, New Mexico, Wyoming and New Hampshire doing differently? (Plus a few more) Although, no one is in expansion or recovery right now.

8. I live in New Mexico and most of the state relies on the Government for jobs

All we have here is oil, the army, the air force, state university's, NASA, state gov., fed gov., etc.

13. Thank you. I wish she could address the Senate. Then again,

I don't think any manner or amount of logic can penetrate some of their monolithic, narrow-minded ideologies. Sense has nothing to do with it, apparently. What the refusal is really based on hasn't made a lick of sense to me yet... I'm hoping I should be glad about that.

14. It's stunning isn't it. The numbers on all this were crunched and figured out

a long time ago. They are as simple as 1 + 1 = 2 and yet Republicans don't believe 1 + 1 = 2. They simply hate the idea that often government works and works very well for the people. There is no solid logic behind any of their thinking. They look at history and completely ignore the facts and it's infuriating!
