Means nothing in and itself. It gives no context of what it was previously. And higher prices from tariffs erodes the real injection coming from deficits, which puts a drag on growth.

Fiscal deficits are ex-post , you can’t know it in advance, you can make predictions only. And there are some reasons a fiscal deficit may arise. The revenue part of the budget made by the Congress is just a pure guess while expenditure is more “fixed” (depends on the state of the economy too).

Eg. The Government does a huge discretionary infrastructure spending bill, but the increase in demand results in tax revenues flowing back, maybe even exisiting stocks of savings being used up, so the actual deficit ends up being lower than expected.

1. Country runs a trade deficit, if your country is running a trade deficit, as is the case with US despite Trump’s attempts, the only way for the economy to grow or even just stay stable is with Government deficit, because otherwise you will see private debt blow up. Thus, US is naturally inclined toward a fiscal deficit and that’s fine.

2. Deficits rises when the economy shrinks, as tax revenues dwindle due to biz shuttering workers being laid off and unemployment cheques and marginal welfare spending that exists goes up, the “automatic stablizers”. None of these are discretionary spending decisions and they only replace part of the income losses in the non-Government sector.

3. Deficit rises because of discretionary spending choices, happens for example during wars or massive spending by the Govt in the real economy. To manage inflationary pressures in such cases, the Gov may do forced savings, price controls, rationing, one off taxes etc. But this is not what’s happening to the U.S, I’m certain.

This just keeps getting better.

One would think this is a great opportunity for the Government to spend more but from what I read Thailand is doing austerity and regressive tax hikes too.

can’t have anti-regime opinions in public sector and if you have anti-regime opinions in the private sector, pro-regime ppl will get you fired.

similar to third world countries ig, the only decent work is in the public sector, but there you can’t criticize the neoliberal regime or appear ‘political’ in any way.

do we have that cheering guy after Kirk got shot emote?

One accurate neck shot definitely has some cool factor to it. But he prolly traumatized many people in the audience, Luigi didn’t traumatize anyone else (or at the worst, far less people) .

I think Luigi did it (allegedly) better than Robinson.

Its wonderful the right wingers are softening their language.

while i do agree somewhat, those migrants bring in foreign exchange in form of remittances and also act as a stimulus for the local economy (esp in a managed/fixed exchange rate as is the case with most of these countries).

“Arbeit Macht Frei”

with fiat money (not just Government spending, but bank lending i.e. credit), they can have all the electronic entries in their account as they want, the real purchasing power of goods and services that can be purchased at the aggregate level depends on the real economy.

but capitalists never cared that much about their own consumption, at some point it becomes meaningless. they just want to make more money out of money.

Dunno about what happens to the left.

But Charlie Kirk will never be speaking again.
