They have it backward. Spending for its own sake means 
nothing. What if you spent $1 million, but bought nothing 
but air? How would this benefi t society? It would surely 
benefi t the person who sold you the air. He would get 
the million dollars formerly belonging to you. Using our 
modern methods of economic accounting, such as the 
measurement of gross domestic product (GDP), such a 
transaction would certainly look like genuine activity. It 
would be counted as $1 million worth of growth.
But the act of buying air does not improve the economy 
as a whole. The air was always there. Something has to be 
produced to give the spending any value. 
Spending is merely the yardstick that we use to measure 
production. Since everything that is produced will 
eventually be consumed, why does spending really matter? 
Even the stuff that no one really wants will be consumed 
if the price falls far enough. But nothing can be consumed 
until it is produced. It’s production that adds the value.
Saving creates the capital that allows for the expansion 
of production. As a result, a dollar saved makes more of a 
positive economic impact than a dollar spent. Just don’t try 
to explain this to an economist or a politician.
