People know that you can't spend more than you have.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You can't spend your way to prosperity.

If there's not enough money in the bank account, you don't spend it.

You can't buy time or save it, common idioms notwithstanding. You can only spend it.

When you've got the money, you spend it. When you've spent it all, let someone else get going and spend theirs.

Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to hold the line on spending.

You cannot have a society where you spend more than you earn. I mean, it's just fundamentally not viable in the long run.

Hiding spending does not reduce spending.

If you are spending too much, you cut back on spending and you raise your revenues. And that's it.
