Thank you, President Obama, and the senators who passed the stimulus.

Thank you, President Obama, and the senators who passed the stimulus.

All that stimulus money didn't stop the poverty rate from rising for 4 years, so why do you think this small dip is thanks to it?  Are they still dishing it out?

Fallacy. The stimulus prevented a steeper drop into recession and a slower climb out, which would have caused greater depths of poverty.

I recall we spoke a few days ago where you struggled with the idea of the multiplier effect, so I understand if you have issues with this.
