It's why deflation is not a good thing (it slows down the economy because people save), slight inflation is desirable (under 2% or so), and massive inflation is horrible (because it results in people not being able to spend their money, slowing down the economy).
I agree but the "inflation below 2%" rule is not always appropriate. France knew a huge economic growth with 10-15% inflation rate until the beginning of the eighties, and today it is unable to perform with 3-5% (European treaties mandates 3%, and now 0.5%, something France will never achieve without destroying itself)
The government of the USA is the largest spending thing. Ever.
During a crisis, everyone lower expenses, and the economy enter a vicious slow down cycle. The government is the only actor able to act counter-cyclically. By maintaining expenses, it can restart activity. Hence it is not surprising we see a peak of government expenses these years. Remove it and things will get really ugly. See Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and now even Germany and France.
But according to Wikitionary, "Ars" meant "burn" in ancient french.

Vote is important. If you American people manage to get a democrat president elected, then Guantanamo prison could be closed.
