- yucky 4y agoThe US Government prints money whenever it feels like it despite being $30 Trillion in debt, it's the only entity in the world that could manage to not spend it.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoNo that's not right. It's not that all the countless departments and agencies can go to the federal reserve or congress whenever they need more money and it will write them a check. I mean in aggregate that's vaguely how it goes, but there is never enough money to spend at any given time. If there was a gigantic cache of money, they would be unable to help themselves. Why do you think the CIA sells drugs and weapons? It's not a couple of greedy dudes at the top running everything and telling everybody to waste money. It's systemic from top to bottom.
