re: #151 Obdicut

Do you accept that there are some forms of spending where the choice is either to spend amount X now, or amount 10X in the future, at time Y?

And that in those cases, it makes sense to spend X now even as deficit spending, because X+X(interest) < 10X?

Yes, your 100% abstract stipulation contains no logical fallacies. It doesn’t address who is paying it, who is deciding what X is or that it will be 10X in the future, etc etc. But yes there are no contradictions in what you said.
