Your opinion does not change the math. The government spends more than it takes in, when the situation can be avoided.

Projections are to have the entire deficit and debt wiped out within a few years.

The projections say whatever they want them to say. That's no excuse for spending the money now before it's collected.

People always want government to spend more like a prudent business; corporations run deficits all the time and the fact is that there are times when its a good business decision!

Irrelevant, and ignorant. Corporations that run deficits all the time go out of business. Governments are not businesses and run mostly on taxes and related revenues.
