No, I was making a general point about what's productive investment and what isn't.

In the US, we're doing a bad job of making our deficits count. That will be bad in the medium and long term. In the short term, any spending is mildly stimulative. (Though spending that doesn't create future growth is essentially what creates the situation China is in: you're creating future debt-servicing obligation without creating debt-servicing capacity -- so you're making yourself poorer.)

I was just making a point about economics. I'll spare you my political opinions about the utility of US deficits, or the direction we're going, but based on your tone I imagine we might agree quite a bit more than you think.
