I think the evidence tends to dispute your point.

Bullshit. Every economist worth his weight in shit supports deficit spending to stimulate a recovery and not one advocates increased deficit spending to stimulate an economy already at full employment. This happens to be the very same reason that virtually no economist supports a Balanced Budget Amendment as it would kill the ability to stimulate an economy in times of need. You really need to study and understand economics a bit better if you don't want to continue making such a fool of yourself.

Thank you, General Mainstream. The labor force participation rate section of the article is quite interesting. Did you read it?
Another perspective: The Fed's Long-Awaited Wage Inflation Is at Hand. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...ion-is-at-hand

It begs the question as to why the GOP would think that $1.5 trillion in additional deficit spending is the right prescription for these economic times.

This would depend on what the GOP's goal is.
