Government spending is a nebulous term that is too broad to mean anything valuable. You can't put schools and roads into the same category of spending as the multi trillion dollar bailout packages handed out to banks and cronies.

The problem is the bailouts specifically. Bankers and business tycoons doubled the money supply and stole it all. They essentially robbed the rest of the country of half it's wealth.

If your goal is to be a shill and obfuscate the problem for the benefit of the criminals then naturally you would.
