That's $2 being spent on tacos if my basic math is correct and I think it is.

It wasnt a math question, the "and" was to compare the two..

Lets compare the taco being bought with $1 in cash, and the taco being bought with food stamps..

its not an addition question, its a comparison question..

Such as lets compare this tv, and that tv.. you arent adding them together, you are telling me how it differs

1. Then you should have used "or."

2. A dollar is a dollar and the taco place would be happy to get a dollar in food stamps if the alternative was to not get a dollar at all.

Thats my point.. $1 is a dollar, regardless as to if its in food stamps, $1 bill, 4 quarters, 10 dimes etc...

To pretend somehow the $1 food stamps is > than the $1 in cash is utterly ridiculous..

Thats why these people cant tell me where the other .70 comes from, because it never actually existed. They ignore the part that the money needs to be removed from the economy FIRST, which is one of the most asinine things I've heard in my entire life.

According to the likes of Pelosi, when your or I spend our $1 it's only adding a dollar to the economy, but if some other person spends what's left of our dollar for us it's a freaking "force multiplier" and magically adds $2.50 to the economy, what a bunch of complete, and utter bull****.

And that is after we pay to fund the tens of thousands of government employees to redistribute our dollar. It's freaking Utopian magic.

No one is suggesting money doesnt get spent multiple times, thus have a multiplier, the question ONCE AGAIN, since you dont seem to understand it, which is weird considering I've only said it a DOZEN TIMES.

How does $1 in food stamps become > than $1 in CASH spent on a taco?
here because I'm a nice guy, I'll dumb it down for you..

Does the $1 in food stamps require more employees to make the same taco than the $1 in cash? NO
Does the $1 in food stamps require more beef to put in the taco than the $1 in cash? NO
How about utilities? NO?

WHAT THE HELL IS > IN THE $1 IN FOOD STAMP SPENDING THAN THE $1 IN CASH SPENT ON A TACO TO GIVE US THE EXTRA 70%?

Go watch the video. Seriously, I know you didnt even bother. And no thats NOT your question, your question involved taking it from you and giving it to someone else, you're trying to simplify it down to something idiotic in order to avoid the question.

It very much is the question, I"VE BEEN ASKING YOU FOR PAGES THE VERY SAME EXACT QUESTION..

Once again, you cant answer, can you?

It doesnt matter if we're discussing $1 tacos (something YOU brought up) or $20 steaks.. $20 spent is $20 spent regardless if its food stamps, or cash..

There is no greater multiplier in food stamps spending than cash spending.. anyone in kindergarden can tell you $1 is $1 regardless of what type of currency is used.

I think you're another for the ignore pile.
