That's a very flawed statement. The government is made up of people, which always attracts the most ruthless and dishonest people...how does that solve the problem?

And where does the incentive come to fund the dishonesty?

Quite possibly, but at least they will have something to show for their money. It's better than bank bailout and supporting crony capitalism with that money. ;)
The money is just made up anyway. In terms of physical economy resources are flowing into the US and they are getting our shit dollars. They have to make purchases in the US in order for physical resources to flow out. Physical resources are what are really important. That is a truer measure of wealth. When they do that, it brings dollars back into the country. There are 2 economies, 1 is make believe, one is based on physical resources and labor. You have to factor the 2 together and not simply follow the money alone. That doesn't tell the whole story.

Yes all the money borrowed flowing into the Western economies. Keep the system working.
All you're saying is give us tax cuts, keep borrowing so you can spend the money yourself and put someone else out of a job.
However this is true.

The jobs lost from cutting taxation would be replaced by jobs created from people having more money.

Because the West no longer produces most of the goods we would buy with the extra money. Your economic theory is out of date. It's from the time when Americans bought American manufactured goods. Today they don't, most of the goods you buy are imported.
So let's look at it properly.
$1 billion spent by the Government goes mostly to build something by Americans in America. This money they spend in shops. Mostly on imported goods.
$1 billion spent in shops is spent mostly on imported goods.
All you want to do is remove the Americans relying on Government funding so you can spend the money yourself. You'll run the risk of the drop in the economy and your income.
