Everything You Know About Government Spending Is Wrong
Picture the 2008 financial crisis: families losing homes, retirement accounts evaporating overnight, breadlines forming in communities that hadn't seen them in generations. The Obama administration proposed an $800 billion stimulus package, and immediately the chorus began: "How will we pay for it? What about our children's future? We're mortgaging America's tomorrow!" So the stimulus was cut nearly in half. The result? Eight million jobs lost, $8 trillion in housing wealth vanished, and a decade of unnecessary suffering. Here's the kicker-that caution cost every American roughly $70,000 in foregone prosperity. But what if the entire premise was backwards? What if the federal government can't actually run out of money the way your household can? This isn't wishful thinking or political spin. It's how modern money actually works, and understanding it changes everything.
