I keep coming back to the federal budget deficit. Our leaders have given the economy a 350 billion boost over 10 years which is 35 billion a year. However, the government spends 300+ billion more than in takes in in taxes. This money comes from investors investing in government bonds instead of investing in businesses. Would it not make more sense to balance the budget and give the economy a 300+ billion boost every year? Not to mention the 300+ billion the governments spends on interest to support the national debt. Heck, if the government just managed it's self better as I see it we could all enjoy a 300+ billion tax cut every year instead of a paltry 35 billion a year.
