#1 Stimulus! Stimulus! Where's the best return on that?

Post by SirNitram »

It's a question that should be asked. Thankfully, someone asked and researched. Now enjoy their work. Link

For those who want the results immediately, you lazy bums, here's the meat and potatoes.

Obama has proposed a Refundable Tax Credit(1.26 dollars into the economy per dollar from federal coffers), aid to states(1.36), and infrastructure spending(1.59). UI benefits are once again in consideration, and given the swelling of the numbers of those on food stamps, those may also come up too.

For those wondering, the general gist of the Heritage Foundation, the GOP 2008 Economic Platform, and the on-the-record statements of the head of the RNC are tax cuts, tax cuts, capital gains tax cut, Bush tax cuts permenant, corporate tax cuts... Notice all those are under a dollar into the economy for the dollar from your coffers.
