There is an ironic saying that goes:

"In a world in crisis, everyone becomes a Keynesian."

When an economy is in recession, the government has to create aggregate demand. And it has to do this by increasing its spending.

But a question must be asked about this statement by Keynes.

Where does the money that the government uses to increase its spending come from?

There are three answers: either the government raises taxes; or it borrows money from banks, individuals and companies; or it simply prints money.

I don't need to be a deep economist, because I'm not, to understand that none of these three measures creates wealth.
