Hi everyone,
As a canadian, I follow the debt ceiling debate with a deep interest. It is a hot topic and I realize that it may upset some. I would ask everyone to keep it as cool as possible. Left vs Right direct attack should be avoided, lets focus on policy themself.
Lets start
While I understand and agree that low tax is generaly a good thing for the economy, mainly by alowing consumer to buy more. The problem I see is that since United States have a negative foreign trade balance, the cash will inevitably bleed out the country and I don't see how it will come back. To fix this issue, Should not the trade balance be adressed first? Or go back to protectionism maybe?
Or, Would it not be better to keep tax at its current level, if not raising it a bit more and preserve/increase gov jobs? |
