The reality of the situation is that national governments very rarely run down their stock of debt from a macroeconomic standpoint.
In terms of the overall macroeconomic point of view, all tax and spending decisions by the federal government should be done in such a fashion that total net spending in our economy is good enough to produce a level of real output in which firms would be able to employ any and all available labor. The goal of government should be to make sure the level of spending is sufficient enough to employ any and all available productive capacity. Period. Done deal.
That's the Keynesian mumbo-jumbo. Too bad it's totally bogus. The empirical evidence has disproven Keynesianism multiple times.
LOL, okay.
First of all, I'm not a Keynesian, so there goes that theory. What's this empirical evidence you speak of?
You obviously are a Keynesian. You believe government borrowing creates jobs.
