Again.. it's not 'additional' money in the local economy.. it was there all along, you had it! All that's happened is that you gave it to someone else.
Circulating money drives an economy, not rat-holing money. The $2 spent and circulated, changing hands, and being taxed every time it changes hands is what helps. If it didn't help, and money didn't circulate, money would be worth nothing more than the cotton it's printed on.
