All that wasted money flowed into the US economy. Then some flowed out buying imports.

Look at Greece, cutting Government spending is about the only thing a Government can do. But it leaves a lot of people poorer, a lot of shops close, a lot of people lose their jobs, a lot of people go on welfare and then a lot of people decide they have nothing to lose and decide you have what they want.

And these guys have guns like you and don't give a shit.

The problem isn't just Government spending. It's moving the manufacturing base overseas or buying imports. How many here drive a BMW, Mercedes, Jag or any other foreign car. Where was your computer manufactured, not assembled actually made. Look at the labels on your clothes. And the list goes on.

The easy fix is cut Government waste, but it won't work as well as higher taxes or higher manufacturing in the US . Same goes for most Western economies.
