But facts are facts, and there it is in black and white. Extending unemployment benefits is indeed more stimulative than tax cuts. Discussion over.

Can you cite some reputable, non partisan sources?

On a personal rant regarding tax breaks for the rich vs the poor.... I wish "trickle down" worked. I really do. But i don't think it does. I'm starting to think money only trickles up, not the other way around. Just my opinion, based on no sources but my own observation of daily life.
