The main objection by folks who want the government to remain small is that money in the hands of individual people gets spent faster and better than money taken from those people to be spent at government discretion. Every single dollar the government spends is a dollar that has been taken from someone and handed to some government agency. For every $20 an hour job created by government there is one less $20 job in the private sector. It can’t be any other way. The government produces nothing.
But the argument is that when folks get scared and hoard their money, the government has to intervene, take their money and forcefully interject that money into the economy.
And fast.
But does it work that way?
