Boo
That is precisely what the government is actually doing.
They are spending $2400000000 every day more than they are taking in.
And that's how you get a $20000000000 national debt that is going to be a total cluster abortion fuck to pay back without a rapidly growing economy when you're trying to do it.
Or a big ass war economy. Kind of Orwellian, but there ya go.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
