Sophisticated economic jargon is routinely used to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people. We're consistently told we "don't have the money" for things that should simply be considered rightfully ours.

A case in point is the 2017 tax cut v. the college loan debt crisis. The tax cut (83 cents of every $ went to richest people & corp) cost $2T, and the loan debt is less than that. The 2017 tax cut should be repealed, although the middle class tax cut part of it should be kept in.
