We've been paying with the deficit for how many decades now?

The economy has pretty consistently getting better and poverty has been going down since the 70s despite increasing our deficit spend rising every single year and inflation steadily going up.

Having an outlier period in inflation over the past three years because of a deadly pandemic is hardly a condemnation of the idea of deficit spending.
