Because of the principles of Keynesianism, the entire new deal was founded on the concept of deficit spending to stimulate the economy and end the depression.
Keynesians contend that because prices are somewhat rigid, changes in any aspect of spending, including government, investment, or consumer spending, affect output. According to Keynesian economics, a healthy economy spends or invests more than it saves and that demand drives supply. Keynes believed that governments should increase spending even if it means going into debt in order to generate jobs and increase consumer purchasing power during a recession. Deficit spending is when the federal budget deficit for a given year is calculated as the difference between the federal government's outlays (also known as outlays) and its tax revenue (also known as revenue). An annual surplus rather than a deficit occurs when the government raises more money than it spends.
