Question 12 / 49:  *Does economics conclude that government spending is bad?
Answer: 

No, economics simply points out that resources will be directed to different projects when the government spends money.

The goods and services produced because of government spending come at the expense of other goods and services that now will never exist. Economics per se can't say that one pattern of

output is better or worse than the other, but it reminds us that there is a tradeoff, an opportunity cost to the government's actions.
