What if it's actually a bad thing when the government runs a surplus or just breaks even? What if deficits show that the government is putting money into the private sector?

@starbreaker A government that works as intended should first and foremost put money into the public sector, where the services on offer are universally beneficial to all aspects of society.
@mareklach Sure, but the funny thing about putting money "in the public sector" is that public employees end up spending their paychecks, which puts the money in the private sector for a while.
