this sub when Trump claimed corporate tax cuts would pay for themselves through growth: Duh, that's basic econ! (even though most economists disagreed and in the two years pre-COVID there was nowhere near enough growth to counteract the revenue cut)

this sub when Biden claims that investing in weatherized buildings, infrastructure, and green tech will pay for itself through growth: Biden is so stupid, that's not how it works (even though economists agree that infrastructure stimulates growth and generally agree that fighting climate change will save us a lot of money on the long-run due the billions we spend every year on extreme weather events)
