"Deficit spending" might be the wrong terminology. I was at a hearing and they were discussing a budget item (I don't recall what it was) that I would have considered "expense". In order to balance the budget (or make the line item seem less imposing) they were going to "borrow" and reclassify the "expense" as CapX "investment".
