Jobs would come back. Wealth inequality would stop growing. Right wing extremism would die a quick death. All of this wouldn't be a big issue if your government used the cheap money to build long lasting infrastructure that will be of use long after the cheap money is gone. Oh, right. Trump did massive income tax cuts and burned a hole into the budget and now it's Biden with his infrastructure bill who is irresponsible.

Suggesting that jobs be brought back and goods produced here is right wing extremism according to many these days. If you do those things, right wing extremism won't die, it will have achieved its policy goals.
