>> Of course stimulus works......by definition. The argument is what form of stimulus works the best.

Is that kind of like "investment" being "investments", by definition?

The question isn't which works "best". The question is what works the least badly.

Stimulus is government spending of taxpayer dollars or worse, borrowed dollars -- either of which has a negative effect somewhere in the economy which, as it turns out, is always ignored by proponents of "stimulus".

The benefits of stimulus are what is seen; the negatives -- the money that is taken from consumers hands or printed by the Fed or whatever, is unseen.
