Also imagine you & your spouse are being bribed by lobbyists, special interest groups and big businesses to spend more too but don't tell each other about that money just keep it quietly to yourself.
I don't disagree with the sentiment that government spending is usually inefficient or wasteful, but it's disingenuous to compare the financial situation of a nation state to a single household. It's apples and oranges.
