I admit I do not discern where the spending went, in terms of net positive programs, initiatives, or geographies. The biggest expenditure has gone to the military......about $1,500,000,000.00 so far. It is already "paying off".

When the US borrows to deficit spend it tends to spend on non productive entitlement programs and the bonds sold take cash out of the economy. MMT needed now or QE into infinity. Go for it Mr Trump.
