>And if you think I'm arguing against a straw man, consider this. Nancy Pelosi herself said that unemployment checks are "stimulus." How utterly stupid is that?

It's pretty smart, actually. It maintains some level of spending among the unemployed until they either get a job or there's an increase in the tax base to cover it.

Something close to 100% of unemployment benefits goes right back into the economy.
