Without #PAYGO, Congress is free to put more
into the economy than it subtracts away. That money could rebuild infrastructure, fund cancer research, etc. We call it “deficit spending,” which is unfortunate. B/c it all becomes part of the financial surplus *outside* government.

The relevant questions are: (1) Why is that
being spent—i.e. does the spending improve the human condition? & (2) Who ends up with the
surplus—i.e. are you exacerbating or reversing inequality? All deficits improve *someone’s* balance sheet. Ask why and for whom.Pokaż ten wątek

This is very bad economics. The US has done this before and must NOT continue to do it in the future.

Based on your ideas we should have unrestrained spending. Serious question, Is there a limit to the spending you are proposing?

I understand the argument that deficits don’t matter. That holds true when you are the issuer of the worlds reserve currency. But monetary system is evolving and ROW would prefer a neutral reserve asset to USD. Deficits will matter again in our lifetime.
