There's no such thing as a 'black hole'....

Governments can never go bankrupt,they can create money.If it's used to fund tax cuts it would be highly inflationary. If money is created to invest, it isn't. At the end of WW2,there were massive levels of public investment used to rebuild and create the Welfare State. The debt to GDP ratio was twice the current level. The whole concept that our national economy has to be run like a household budget is Neo Liberalist bulls**t.
