Dont believe your lying eyes :soyreddit:, its not a recession if we dont call it one

>In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.~George Orwell, :marsey1984:

The way the banking system works, much of the debt goes to bank reserves and increases the money supply (thus inflation). This is not really borrowing so much as just printing digital money except the gov still pays banks interest.

Leverage increases returns and risk for the equity holders by taking on debt which must be paid first, but at a lower rate.

What returns is the government achieving by handing everyone checks during covid?

If you're only arguing against the alternative of taxation, the point of not borrowing is it keeps the budget in check. The gov is not borrowing because "levering is efficient for returns".

I genuinely believe this isn't a troll, you're just actually r-slurred.

Read again and tell me about the central bank's reserve ratio, because this is the first time I've heard of it.

a bank does double entry bookkeeping u slur, it does not increase money supply. Have it trades assets for their current value with assets for their future value. The leverage off of liabilities does not increase the money supply
