Those are simply terms for stealing more of another’s money.  Not to worry, they’ll never be defined.  There are two reasons someone might say this: to fool the masses or they’re repeating what was said.  It’s a good indication they might not have a clue what they’re talking about—maybe both.  The idea that stealing from someone will lead to growth is flat out absurd.  Ideas like this can only gain traction from economic ignorance.

The truth behind these terms are disguised.  They’re looking to steal more, and disperse it to likely voters.  The shills who say this are betting those who repeat it don’t understand it.  This allows them to redirect their envy.  They think they have justified stealing, and can now do it with a clean conscience.  Since their conscience is clean from these evil acts, they will torment you endlessly.  They won’t stop on their own accord.

Since these terms just mean “more,” it’ll restrict the activity of entrepreneurs.  They may not expand, start, or may even go out of business.  Those who receive extra money will have more at first, but this will hurt everyone in the long run.  This doesn’t hurt politicians.  They only worry about the short run.  It’s the next sucker’s problem in the long run.  This will be pushed by those that don’t have your best interest in mind.

Don’t overlook the fact that this is confiscation.  This is equivalent to a group of people voting to rob another.  The robbery isn’t justified.  Now, the same group of people votes for the state to do the exact same thing.  The robbery didn’t magically become justified.  The action didn’t change.  The amount that’s stolen is much more than before.  They’ll always use vague terms that mean “more.”  They’ll come up with other terms if the masses catch on.

People don’t become angels when they’re elected.  Very often, they’ll claim that they’ll spend the money better than the true owners, not explicitly.  Just as Bastiat said, “If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good?  Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race?”
