Abstract
All over the world, governments are held accountable for the unemployment rates prevalent in their country. It is as if, the government’s main duty is not to govern but rather to provide employment to every willing person in the country. Therefore, whenever unemployment rears its ugly head, governments find themselves under increasing pressure to change the situation or else face the wrath of the public in losing the nest election. In the past century or so, governments have resorted to a technique called government spending to achieve these objectives. In this article, we will take a closer look at what government spending is and what are its pros and cons.
