In response to "as we said last night, when you have to increase the deficit, i.e. borrow money to cut taxes, then yes, it's spending money." by Reagen

End of the day, if you're talking balanced budgets, using your definition is hiding reality. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:37 6
- I am conceding that it raises the defecit and is bad for the budget. - Dr.Vermin Dec 8, 09:40 5
  - define for me, in your opinion, when increasing the debt is bad? - Mel Profit Dec 8, 09:48
  - If you make $100 a day and you spend $95 a day, that's rational spending. - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:42 3
    - I understand this logic. - Dr.Vermin Dec 8, 09:44 2
      - There are several ways to increase spending, is what we're saying. - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:45 1
        
        er, "spending power" is a typo. Should be "buying power". :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:45
spending the same amount while earning less money is overspending. Living beyond your means. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:37
whether you label it "spending" or not, if it has a negative effect on your overall cash flow, it's the same thing. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 09:37
