So, you defend (incoherantly) your previous post. Not surprising. Stupid people tend to reiterate what they have been told. Simply put, lost income is NOT spending. You are talking about budget issues dollars in vs. dollars out. I thought the apple cart would suffice for you as most Melwood residents would get it. Apparantly, you do not get it.

As smart as you are, I am certain you are on your way to being unemployed.
