Liberals want to dig holes with your money and call it growth here’s the real cost to America

Every time a socialist opens his mouth about economics, you can bet Americans are about to get another lesson in how the Left just doesn’t get it. The latest example comes straight out of France, where a socialist boasted about a so-called “genius” economic insight: dig a useless hole, and hey, the GDP goes up. That’s all these clueless liberals need—they see a number rise, and suddenly, they’re patting themselves on the back for “growing” the economy.

Let’s get real: this is the upside-down world of left-wing thinking. Liberals only care about numbers if they can use them to justify bigger government and more control over your wallet. If politicians can spend your hard-earned tax dollars on pointless projects, inflate the GDP, and trick you into thinking things are better, they will. According to this socialist logic, it doesn’t matter if the work is useful or if it actually improves anyone’s life. What matters is government busywork—the kind of nonsense that would make any responsible American shake their head.

This is the failure at the heart of liberal economics. Real value comes from productivity, innovation, and the free market—not from shoveling dirt for no reason so bureaucrats can fudge the numbers. When politicians and their friends in leftist universities tell us “GDP doesn’t measure happiness” or “GDP is flawed,” it’s code for one thing: “Let us tinker, tax, and spend, and we’ll call it progress.” Meanwhile, the only thing actually rising is the power of government and the tax burden on the average family.

Nobody gets ahead from this game except globalist elites and bureaucrats. Liberals love to point fingers at capitalism, but their own big-government spending sprees are just cover for top-down control. When they manipulate economic statistics to justify more socialist spending, it’s not about helping everyday people—it’s about building their own empires. Americans see through it. They know that real economic growth means opportunity, not government digging holes on their dime.

Here’s the plain truth: if you want a strong economy, you need hard work, real jobs, and free markets—not socialist schemes cooked up in Paris or peddled in Ivy League classrooms. Should we really trust anyone who thinks wasting time and money is good for the country? The next time a socialist brags about “digging holes” for the GDP, remember: conservatives are the only ones left with common sense.
