Government "deficit spending" is the nation-state creating money (out of thin air) and exchanging it.

The payroll tax (FICA) does not fund Social Security or Medicare. Like all other federal agencies, those agencies are funded by dollars created on purpose by the government (using laws from Congress) and placed in their accounts by the Treasury.

The notion of the state crowding out the private sector by its #deficitspending is currently trending. On my blog, I point out why it's a fallacy:

The nonsense of crowding out

Why a key term bandied about in academia and media is simply erroneous

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), known for his staunch fiscal conservatism, is making it clear: he’s a firm #NO on the #Republican #debt plan.

In a C-SPAN interview, #Massie dismantles the party’s own talking points, revealing that even under the most optimistic assumptions, the proposal adds hundreds of billions to the #deficit in the coming years. According to Massie, leadership’s numbers show a $328 billion increase in 2025 alone—with no real plan to control spending beyond vague promises of future restraint.

Having served in #Congress for 12 years, Massie has seen multiple so-called “10-year plans” under #Boehner and #Ryan—none of which ever played out as promised. He remains skeptical that this time will be any different.

With the deficit skyrocketing and fiscal responsibility on the line, Massie’s message is clear: empty promises won’t fix #America’s #economic future.
