A more accurate and intellectually honest description is that it's money that was already spent on healthcare or other programs. Do you think the government just borrowed the money and literally set it on fire? Really?

Reasonable people can have a reasonable debate about whether deficit spending on any particular item is worthwhile or not, but you're making it sound like the government borrowed money for no reason and had it vanish into the ether. Come on now.
