"Resources get used to produce the goods and services for and/or in the government."

Tim, that is true of anything. It still represents economic activity. A dollar spent by the government is still a dollar spent. And that dollar is worth exactly the same as any other dollar.

You consistently argue that money spent by the government represents zero economic activity.

At best.

And that is an odd position to take. And you harp on government spending "distorting the free market". Here is a clue Tim, government spending is part of the free market. The government isn't setting prices or restricting supplies. They are competing for goods and services with everyone else.
