      We could just not borrow it into existence. It’s not like there is a surplus and we have to figure out how to give it back to the taxpayers. Just like we shouldn’t have saved the banks in 2008 (the institutions and their shareholders, not the depositors.). Just like we shouldn’t to fund genocide across the globe. Government spending should benefit the citizenship broadly, not pick winners and losers.
