“The United States is flush with low-interest cash from the Giant Pool of Money. Yes, that cash will one day have to be repaid, but right now what it means is the government has the opportunity to invest it in ways that will help to generate future revenue, which is to say in ways that create jobs. And if it does so, if the government invests this money in job-creation, then the future revenue will exceed the low interest owed back to the Giant Pool. A government is not really like a business or a bank or a household, but to the extent that it can be compared to such things, what this all means is the government has the chance to turn a profit.”
