We're supply siders. We aren't allowed to believe that increased consumption benefits the economy-- throwing dollar bills out of planes, and all that jazz.

Only good point. The precedent is awful, however. I have visions of Caesar mounting his chariot with bags of gold, riding among the poor to curry favor.

It would be most efficiently spent if left in the hands of the person that earned it.

How does taking $400 from you (so that you don't spend it, obviously) and giving it to somebody else (after deducting Federal carrying charges) result in a net economic gain?
