I’m half convinced that Paul Krugman is running our national finances.
He literally said it was possible to spend your way to prosperity.
Biden used the same excuse for aid to Ukraine. He explained helpfully that we send all our weaponry and munitions to Ukraine, then pay the defense industry to replenish our own stockpiles, making good high paying jobs for Americans. Government spending is part of GDP, if you can believe that, so it keeps GDP growing, and presto, we avoid recession. Simple, eh? Relax citizen, you never had it so good.
