    Revenue circulation in communities gets pretty funny, when looking at WHO does the calculations. A long time ago, a livestock group ( and agency) said that if a recreation dollar came into the community, it left immediately and was only “a dollar”, but if it was spent on LIVESTOCK IN ANY WAY, then the “circulation’” expanded to between $7 and $13 in “economic stimulus”.

    Now that communities are going nuts to get National Parks created, rather than just “monuments”, because it’s a HUGE economic stimulus, and the natural resources have been wiped out on non-protected lands, those recreation dollars are finally being recognized as recirculating in the economy, and one dollar spent by a TOURIST is now equal to $10 – $22 in the local economy!!

    The simple fact is that Federal spending to manage those park units DOES return EXTREMELY LARGE benefits to local communities. That’s why several states as a result of the REPUBLICAN “shutdown”, spent their own money, now being paid back by the feds, to keep National Parks OPEN!

    Which, yes Virginia there IS a Santa Clause, and it IS called economic stimulus from GOVERNMENT that DOES create and maintain jobs, in many parts of the country.

    Welfare payments and unemployment benefits are good for the economy. The GOP has had thirty years of giving to the rich. How has that worked so far?

    I once heard a similar thought on cutting taxes. Reagan proved that cutting taxes brings in more revenue than rising taxes. So we should just stop taking in taxes at all and everything will be good.
