Government spending is for things like building bridges. Payments usually go to government employees and contractors. Most machines you're probably thinking of are not considered intermediate products as they don't further transform into the final good. If you run a print shop, then the paper and ink that is used to produce prints is an intermediate good but the printing press itself is not. | |
