People should understand the concept of fiscal multipliers. I have $100. What's the best way to use it, such that its effects are strongest?

Give it to a millionaire? It'd likely just disappear into an investment without any guarantee it was domestic.

If it doesn't return into the domestic market, it's a zero fiscal multiplier. If I had to go into debt to give that $100 out, it becomes a negative fiscal multiplier.

Republican lawmakers have said they do not believe the nonpartisan analysts' projections and accused Moody's of deliberately timing its Friday afternoon downgrade to try to block the bill's passage.

They argue the bill will pay for itself by stimulating growth. When congressional Republicans were advancing Trump's 2017 first-term tax cuts, they made a similar argument.

But the CBO estimates the changes increased the federal deficit by just under $1.9 trillion over a decade, even when including positive economic effects.

President Trump’s tariffs and their scattershot rollout have once again raised concerns that the United States may soon face an economic downturn. While the odds of an outright recession have fallen as the highest levies have been paused, there are reasons to be worried about the ability of consumers to continue to prop up growth.

Interesting #macroeconomics view: “Consequently, predicted TFP (aka productivity) gains over the next 10 years are even more modest and are predicted to be less than 0.55%.…even when #AI improves the productivity of low-skill workers in certain tasks (without creating new tasks for them), this may increase rather than reduce inequality… Finally, some of the new tasks created by AI may have negative social value…”

Federal “debt” is the total of outstanding #Treasury #Securities.

The US government could pay off all its so-called “debt” tomorrow simply by debiting all Treasury-security accounts and crediting the Treasury-Security owners’ checking accounts.

The entire process neither adds nor subtracts money from the economy (but for interest paid).

@keefeglise

The sovereign state borrows from other financial institutions: the national Treasury offers an "obligation" or a "bond" whereby it #promises to later give away its fiat currency in exchange for the actual payment of money or title presented by the rentier.

Power is budgeted. And the bill is due.

Chaos & Order #6 is now live.

The U.S. and China are locked in a debt spiral with no exit ramp:
• Treasury dependence is America’s silent weakness
• China still holds leverage
• The standoff grows riskier
