Most economists agree on the following figures: Welfare spending has a fiscal multiplier of around 1.5, while military spending has a fiscal multiplier of 0.8.
What does that mean? It means that for every $1 that the U.S. government spends on the EBT negros in the op's video, we get $1.50 back in GDP. For every $1 that our government spends on military spending for failures such as yourself, we get back $0.80.
Now, if you had a choice of giving $1.00 to one person, and getting $1.50 back, or giving $1.00 to a second person, and getting $0.80 back, which would you choose? And which person is the bigger leach again? Pray tell.
