The actual economic loss during an economic depression is the labor which is lost through unemployment. Your economy ends up with that much less wealth because of your inability to employ these people productively. Very wealthy individuals like Robert Mercer, who funded Donald Trump's Presidential campaign, want lower taxes not increased taxes. If Robert Mercer is able to constrain our political choices to a choice of "full employment and additional debt" or "unemployment", that's the only choice you have. You could also suggest full employment paid for with higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans, but that will require pushing Robert Mercer's preferences to the side, and he shelled out a lot of money to get Trump elected.
