Not only do you continue to argue your point without a single source, but you now expect me to source my challenge to your argument when you won't source either your arguments or your challenges to my arguments in this or other threads. This is a ridiculous double standard.

Furthermore you hold: The original statement stands. The original statement fails to stand because it contains a bunch of unsourced, unproven claims.

As for economic growth:

Even one time income for social service groups does create income for other businesses. Grocery stores make money because welfare recipients spend money there. Government workers spend their money on various goods in their communities, etc. In fact, in many cases the government can create faster cycling of money because it can distribute wealth into ways that encourage spending rather than saving, and spending drives economic growth at a faster rate than investment or savings do. The rate of money changing hands is a primary economic driver.

Taxes->Government->Social Security Recipients->Businesses providing essentials
is a rather quick turnover that drives a lot of economic spending.

The attempts of this Government to "boost" the economy can be considered smoke and mirrors. Virtually all that has gone out has gone to social service groups or local governments, as a one time income. Even if they used this money for new hires, government jobs, who pays for it next year? The locals from an increase in taxes. Or the feds have to increase taxes, or the deficit, to fund it again.
The issue revolves around the fact that a business produces a product that creates income, a Government does not, hence any of its spending does not create income.
Now here comes the challenge, you claim this is a dichotomy and yet expect me to provide evidence that it is true. You have made a claim without any refutation. Therefore the original statements still stand.
You posit that I; "seem to support the idea that tax cuts generate wealth for governments yet you can't support the idea that governments spending money to drive the economy generate wealth for governments". It should be clear that both of these can not be true. When business has excess revenue it can do all of the things I mention previously. When the Government takes that money business can do none of those things. Therefore only one instance can create an increase in revenue to the Government. Past practice has shown that Government can not control, what can be called nothing else, its greed for money. The worst example was when Congress began to raid the Social Security Trust Fund. Which I believe is going red this year!
Deficit spending is what they tried in the 30s! Took 30 years and a World War to fix that solution. My parents lived through that I do not desire to emulate them!

"ALSO PROVIDE A SOURCE FOR YOUR ARGUMENT"
Which argument? And what facts are you challenging?
