He slams on Kentucky and people still living there despite not having an Indian restaurant within two miles, but doesn't mention the fact that for the same $3000 a month you pay to rent an apartment in his district you can buy a 2000 square foot house and a few acres of land in Kentucky.

If the government gives someone $100 and takes back $90, you’re at a deficit of $10. But that is $10 in the economy. It’s $10 of productive economic activity. It’s not like that $10 just disappeared.

You're going to have to knock out a lot of teeth to get the tooth fairy to leave you that $10 under the pillow. Or else it will have to be printed which will give you inflation or borrowed which will squeeze out more productive borrowers. There is no free lunch.

We pay about $1,000 a month for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, so I doubt it’d cost that much in Kentucky.

Did this guy learn economics from Nancy Pelosi?

She actually said that food stamps and welfare helps the economy, because people spend that money locally.

Good gawd.

How many working people's taxes went to "give" that person welfare and food stamps?

My guess is around $10 seized by Pelosi to "give" 1 dollar to the recipient.

These are the same liberal morons that think that breaking windows with rocks "helps" everyone.

The contractor who fixes the windows, the glass maker, the drivers who take workers to the jobsite, etc.

Yes real jobs created.

Except for the poor schlub who had his windows bashed in.

He has to pay for all of these great jobs that are "created".

Who speaks for the schlubs?
