There is also another thing I’d like to mention is that today’s deficit spending (US) is distinguished not quite by its magnitude, but into whose pockets that money goes. The current budget directs more of the federal dollars created directly into the pockets of billionaires.

So I think I would say is that it’s not distance from government spending, but the fact the money never gets into the hands of people before the rich get their hands on it.
