...is they think that dollars that purchase a product ["generating real surplus wealth for business growth and, incidentally, paying taxes
"] are worth less if they come from the government than if they come from private industry. Money is money. When people start to spend less (recession) then the government can and should use debt to pump more spending into the system. It keeps businesses afloat through difficult times. And you would know this if you payed attention to what the businesses themselves have to say about it.

I hesitate to direct you to this piece, knowing well how many distractions you will find there. I hope you will take a look at "Table 2" that comes from Moody's (you have to subscribe to Moody's to get to the original). The table shows how much stimulus a dollar from the big bad government can provide.
