But then we’ll go on and say stuff like “taxpayer money”, “how are we gonna pay for that”, or “our grandkids are gonna have to pay back the national debt”.

The pursuit of a “balanced budget” is one of the most successful bits of propaganda ever.

It's a bit like saying "we need economic growth". Doesn't mean shit to the poor when they don't benefit from it at all.
