We can’t afford it because our debt either has or soon will exceed our GDP. Adding $3.5 trillion along with the trillions in COVID and infrastructure spending is reckless and irresponsible. (This is especially true as we have zero control over our non discretionary entitlement spending as stated below) How much of the prior debt was advertised as deficit neutral and okay cause it was spread out over time? It never is.
One last point. Until we fix entitlements, there should be a minimizing of discretionary spending, not an expansion of it.
