Victor Davis Hanson throws cold water in our face to wake us up:
For just one week we should ban the verb "stimulate" and the noun
"stimulus" — and substitute instead the more honest "borrow," or
"print," or "debt"; as in "The government plans to borrow another $1
trillion for the economy," or "The administration today decided to
print another $300 billion in cash." Or "Congress met to consider a $1
trillion debt program." But as it is now, the euphemisms only take us
ever more distant from reality, as trillions of dollars are bandied
about as if they were mere five and tens in the government wallet. [my emphases]
Well said.
