I don't ever live off of a credit card. (mine are zero'd out every month). I hate when my government does. I'm ticked off totally that the horrible stewardship of the last administration requires this type of intervention. But I also believe, unlike you, that it does require that type of investment. Should we be monitoring (unlike the last admin) where the money goes and how it is used? Absolutely. But we should use the opportunity and the need for the spending to rebuild our infrastructure. I'm not seeing enough of that.
A great big thumbs up on your demonstration of Conservative values!
BTW, the best President as a recession-fighter was Harding:
"One of Harding's campaign slogans was "less government in business," and it served him well. Harding embraced the advice of Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon and called for tax cuts in his first message to Congress on April 12, 1921. The highest taxes, on corporate revenues and "excess" profits, were to be cut. Personal income taxes were to be left as is, with a top rate of 8 percent of incomes above $4,000. Harding recognized the crucial importance of encouraging the investment that is essential for growth and jobs, something that FDR never did."
