Yes, of course, all of your terminology is straightforward, and the terminology preferred by those who disagree with you is "euphemisms."

I didn't claim my language was "straightforward", any term we use will carry bias. That's how political language works.

"Investment" automatically biases you to think that said spending must have a net-good result. Calling it "Government spending" predisposes you to think about the price of said action.

Biased language is always annoying to the other side. When I hear the liberal euphemisms I groan as strongly as I suspect most liberals groan to my dysphemisms.

If you said libertarians love their dysphemisms I wouldn't hold it against you.
