Only a fool would believe anything the government puts out.
Technically correct, they are wealth redistribution payments and not added to GDP.

Even @LowIQTrash knows that once the transfer is made that money ends up adding to aggregate demand through multiple layers(rounds) of spending and adds to GDP.

He DOES seem to have made his position eminently clear on this issue, don't you think? I do not happen to share his position, but he certainy isn't hiding it.
And I know you saw that post, because you responded to it:POM » 27 Feb 2024, 10:30 am » wrote: ↑ I used to be concerned with Border Security and Illegals and Asylum seekers. I do not worry about it anymore. Yesterday I had lunch with three other people. I brought the subject up. Only one was slightly concerned because she said "I am just a little concerned because the people coming across the border are coming from all over the world"
I have lived my entire life (except for college years) in a Border state. My elected officials are supposed to manage this. Yes, I am disappointed the USA is not protecting the US Border and my STATE tax dollars are used to defend the US Border. I am paying for what the US Government is supposed to be doing.
There is NOTHING other than voting, I can do about it. Once I realized that, I have realized it is nothing I need to worry about.
Would I be upset if we have another 09/11 event, sure. But I am not responsible for that. I did my part. I voted.
OK, I get it. 7 million people crossed the border so far under Biden. Trump let 2.4M in. Look at the last 30 years. It is up and down. I am not giving Biden a pass, but I didn't vote for him, and if he runs again, I am not voting for him.
I don't believe either party wants to solve this. If this were solved, this would be one less issue to be used to divide the people.
To all that are getting "a taste" of Illegals and Migrants, GOOD FOR YOU! I have been dealing with this my entire life.
What other STATES do with their STATE funds is NO CONCERN OF MINE. I don't live there, I don't care.
