Yes and no. I don't mean to quibble, but strange things happen to dollars that pass through the feral government's hands.
A dollar's worth of taxes is removed from the open market. When it's spent by the feral government, it sort of does and sort of doesn't return. If it's spent on a $4,000 toilet seat for the Department of Defense, it ends up on the books of a DOD contractor, all right, but it and the other $3,999 have been removed from circulation for all practical purposes. If it's spent on a feral "worker's" salary, it'll be returned to the market, but it didn't buy the same value of work from the feral "employee" as it would have bought from someone in private industry. That dollar hasn't literally been devalued, but by being spent on reduced value, it returns less than full value to the market.
Here's another factor: a dollar borrowed by the feral government necessitates paying interest with additional dollars harvested from the citizenry, so the borrowed dollar actually costs more than $1.00; further, feral government borrowing and squandering results in inflation, which additionally reduces the value of everyone's dollars and serves as a hidden tax on both the citizenry and markets.
Someone who's better versed than I in economics could explain it better, I'm sure.
It’s amazing that Zero has the gall to trumpet that the increase in spending under his regime was the lowest in 60 years. When you spend trillions off the starting block, the rate of increase is bound to slow even as you spend trillions more.We can only borrow so much money. It definitely doesn’t mean actual spending decreased.
All the enemies of America, foreign and domestic, are considerably wealthier than they were 4 years ago.
