Raising or lowering expenditures raises or lowers the fraction of the economy the government manages. The tax rate, inflation, deficit levels are merely details in financing the spending. The market sets interest rates not the government. Every administration has a monetary and fiscal policy that to a greater or lesser extent screws up the economy.

Those who died 911, where do they fit on the balance sheet of Increasing or decreasing government expenditures (including defense) as an example of managing the economy. Surplus is good, It the purpose of government protecting life or making all happy that we have money in the bank. There are several thousand who are not at liberty to answer that question. There are billion if not trillions in opportunity costs due to the loss, the pain, the agony felt by almost every American. tom watson tosiwmee
