"I don't have time to follow your "nuances" or play your gotcha games." No nuance, Tench. Nor spin or straw guys. Not even gotcha games. "Technically that can be considered a stimulus (although I would argue otherwise, since the assumption is that without the government spending, the economy wouldn't have picked up the slack)." More than "technically", Tench. Unless you have a different dictionary. As far as arguing otherwise, you'd have to come up with some proof. Unless, of course, you are Austrian School. They just have to sound reasonable. If so, just admit it and we will all know where you stand on economic issues. If not, well, then we come to "extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof". "But to use that "nuance" to assume that I have no grasp of economics, or to assume that I believe the tax money goes into a "black hole," is useless and condescending." Well, first you denied there was any stimulus at all. Now, at least you give it a technical status, still with no support other than "I say so". Given that you violate one of the few widely accepted principles of economics, what other assumptions can I make? That isn't "nuance" as the word is generally accepted as meaning. Now, granted, that has rarely stopped you before...
