If they were going to do this and pay for it by cutting 140 billion in spending I’d be ok with it, but they won’t. So either they’ll pay for it with more taxes, which defeats the purpose, or more debt, which is why the dollar is so devalued. Yes, that is overly simplified but I don’t feel like going into all the details at 10:30 on a Friday.
