It's a game.
The government knows that if he raises taxes to pay for what they are spending, there would be riots in the streets.
No one wants to give the government all their money so they can spend it for them. However, most are oblivious to the government running up massive debt and inflating away the value of their money they are allowed to keep. That seems to be the name of the game. Either way, we all lose.
In a nut shell, it's just two ways to skin the same dead cat. Leftists don't really give a damn which method they use.
