It seems to me that its not really that different from a household. A household can also end up ahead if it outspends in ways that contribute to future growth. In fact, most people do to get an education, buy a house, etc.
It seems to me that it's not a really question of whether or not its a household, its whether the spending actually contributes to growth. Fundamentally, that depends on how its spent. If you spend the money bombing countries in the middle east, probably not.
