> A pile of quarters never did anything sitting there
Luckily, we don't have a pile of quarters sitting there doing anything, because the US operates at a deficit. So dollars are being borrowed then spent on projects.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say there. Borrowing money somehow does useful work without being spent?
