Well ...
Isn't that how Rahm Emanuel might be viewing this issue?
The upcoming debt hangover that's the subject of this thread will be uncomfortable enough.
But not to worry ... progressives have just the cure!

If you think $1.9 trillion is a lot of money, just wait until you see what AOC, Jayapal, and a few other congressional leftists think should be next in the hit parade. As an appetizer, $2 trillion for unnamed "infrastructure." (I'm sure it will be spent very wisely.)
If a few reports from outfits like AP and Bloomberg are even halfway right, there will be much more. Another trillion for the "climate emergency." Yet another for all manner of UBI precursors and other items on progressives' wish lists. These people will make every effort to load on as much as possible before the reality of trying to hang on in the 2022 midterms sets in.
But wait ...
Could it be that the "hair of the dog" treatment for hangovers really doesn't work that well?

(Oh, well. It sounded like such a wonderful idea!)
