In emergency conditions, financing current expenditure with deficit spending may make it possible to focus more carefully on the need for social  justice and on protecting those who have been hit particularly hard by the crisis and by the changed situation.
Budgetary deviation is a macroeconomic stabilization tool, but  it cannot become the norm: a high and persistent deficit is not sustainable, it inevitably translates into an increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio. The way to achieve lasting progress is  through economic development, enhancing the skills of the labour force and investment.
