Answer by BEN C
taxes would have to be raised to gain the money needed for the increase in spending which would decrease people disposable income meaning they have less money to spend on goods or services
hurting the economy
it should be the governments role to create jobs with tax payers money but they have to find the correct account which wouldn’t hurt the economy while also providing the other services the government provide.
tax increases are not popular with the public so tax increases shouldn’t happen that often
