Do social programs create bad cash flow?

Question

I'm still looking for a link, to info, that proves cash flow created by social program recipients spending money into the economy isn't good for the economy.
can anyone provide me with this data?

Stuck in HB, no that isn't what I'm referring to at all, but now that you mention it, all those things you mentioned create cash flow, no wonder our government doesn't care to attack the problems at their source.

ah so Bubba so you think store just give the items purchased with foodstamps out for free, just because a person has a food stamp?

Jim Sock, I think you better review something called a "Snowball Effect".
also, you might want to think about the question, and realize it has nothing to do with tax revenues, but with cash flow and its benefit to the economy.

Bozema, it appears to me that Record profits by oil companies are cretaing more inflation than anything in history, but I don't see a bunch of corporatists crying about that.

Bozema, so your preferred answer to something that is little inflationary, is reduced cash flow, which reduces volume, which tanslates to net job loss?

consumption and capitalism themselves are inflationary, when resources aren't infinite, and demand is always growing.
Tanslation: Inflation a fact of capitalism, and always will be.
get over it!

Answer 1

The biggest example is the PWA (Public works administration). It is responsible for the Tennessee Valley Authority and all of the hydro electrical power being produced, the Hoover dam, Lake Mead, most of the US Highways around. This biggest of all the social program single handledly saved the entire US during the Great Depression. The examples named here is only the tip of the iceburg.pp

Answer 2

Getting money from the government and spending it is a net economic loss. You don't need a link for that.

Money is earned and it is taxed. The tax from several earners is accumulated and then handed over to a non earner. The non earner spends the money and it is taxed locally. So. The government only ends up with 8% of what it would have recieved had there been no non earners. The non earner produces nothing that the earners can spend on.
Therefore, a net loss.
Loss is not good for the economy. No brainer.

Answer 3

Problem is that higher taxes used to fund social problems is inflationary, making the very items everyone buys (including the poor receiving aid) more expensive. Same reason minimum wage increases don't improve the lot of the poor - higher wages raise cost of goods and are inflationary, so the poor never get ahead.

The TVA and the PWA actually created real jobs that produced something of value - different from a handout that produces nothing.

Answer 4

No because even welfare recepients pay taxes and generate movement in the economy. It also staves off social unrest. But welfare reform basically destroyed that so we need to get it from another source like job training, disability or something ... I mean in order to bring the under class/the poor into the economy.

Answer 5

I don't think that food stamps qualify as cash flow.
