        I don't think this chart includes the refundable portion of tax credits.

        They treat refundable tax credits as government spending, same as National Income and Product Accounts.

        I’m not about argument but I do find it pertinent to point out that the lowest unemployment rate in recent history is actually some of that “trickle” youre mentioning. I’m independent and don’t care to lambaste anyone - but it seems logical to view things as they are, no?
