"The government has no money, it only has what it can tax the people. When it wants to spend more than the revenue it generates it borrows this money. However, that borrowed money has to be repaid and the only way it can do this is by taxing in the future.
So when the government borrows money and pumps it into the economy, it can make the GDP numbers go up and make the economy appear stronger than it actually is. In essence the government is borrowing GDP from future years to make GDP in the here-and-now go up. However, this is all false because eventually that borrowed money has to be repaid through higher taxes (with interest) and all that ‘gained’ GDP will have to be given back."
He is talking about the U.K. but the same is true here.

Thanks for the Crudele link. He's gotten a lot better covering this stuff, and he's been pretty good for awhile now. That piece is marred only by its headline--Faux job numbers--which I'm sure isn't what JC would've called it. Otherwise it's in the same cut-to-it vein as Royko.
Except they stand in stark contrast to the big words, spoken in a loud, authoritative manner he said last week (year.)
Make him go away...
Come to think of it, he's doing a pretty amazing job of that himself. Bye, bye, Obama...
Then, "The Wizzerd of O-Bama Oz" gets in and dose in 2 years what it took G"W"B 8 years to do. We realy need to go back to whAre goverment was before "Baby- Boots", got into office.
I realy hope "The Donald" is real and digs up a shit load on Obama.
