Re: The sobering reality
Yes! And it's exactly what I just told you - take advantage of free fucking cash money to invest in infrastructure projects that grow GDP and make everybody better off, then pay off the debt from the increased GDP. The fastest way to get out of debt is to make more money not cut back on medical care.
Would this analogy be correct?
Federal debt is similar to gasoline. I can lose money in gasoline to fuel my tractor. I can then use this tractor to harvest a field. The profits from the sale of the goods will far outweigh the money I lost in gasoline. Is that a fair comparison?
