So which economic stimuli had the greatest benefit? The top three were:
Temporarily Increase Food-stamps (multiplier 1.73)
Extend Unemployment Insurance Benefits (multiplier 1.64)
Increase Infrastructure Spending (multiplier 1.59)

Now for the worst stimulus concepts:
Make Bush Tax Cuts Permanent (multiplier 0.29)
Cut Corporate Tax Rate (multiplier 0.30)
Make Dividend Tax Cuts Permanent (multiplier 0.37)
Since these multipliers are less than unity, it means that for every dollar of tax break, the country's production actually goes down.
