How government spending locks in permanently:

Once public funds flow into any sector, cutting budgets becomes nearly impossible. Every proposal to reduce allocations triggers the same predictable response: "critical services will collapse, people will suffer."

This creates a one-directional ratchet—spending only goes up. The politically costlier option is always to maintain or expand.

Why does this matter for markets? Because the same logic applies to monetary policy and regulatory frameworks. Once stimulus measures or subsidy programs are embedded, reversing them triggers market panic and institutional resistance.

It's less about ideology, more about how incentive structures work—and why inflation, asset bubbles, and perpetual deficit spending become structural features rather than temporary fixes.
