President Trump You gave his “big and beautiful Republican criticism.” [budget] Bill, declared that he would vote against it, is the vote for the “largest tax increase” in American history, an estimated $4 trillion for over a decade. The hidden irony is that, as the late Milton Friedman warned in August for half a century, “big beautiful bills” will “surge the true taxes” of the country, even if the tax rates expire in 2017.
The bill has been passed at most tenuously.
Trump’s bill has been tens of passing through Congress. Republicans have three majority in the Senate, with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), and perhaps two or three Senate shortfalls, which could vote for Bill Bill Billuse, who adds another $320 billion this fiscal year.
But Paul’s main grievance is that Trump’s budget will raise the federal deficit for Prosecutors 2025 to $2.2 trillion, adding $22 trillion to national debt over a decade, increasing from the current $36 trillion to $59 trillion in 2035. Understand, Paul fears that deficit spending already represents a “biased threat” to the country’s Solventi, and Trump’s containment “beautiful bill” will expand that issue.
Passing the bill has become more coincidentally volatile due to a feud between Trump and his former cost-cutting ally Elon Musk. Musk declared the bill “filled with poles” and “unpleasant hateful.” You retorted Trump, who you warned Paul that “the great people of Kentucky will never forgive him.” Regarding the resulting tax increase.
Milton Friedman’s Financial Wisdom
Congressional and media experts did not remember the wisdom of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman (1912-2006), particularly on politics that escalates the power and economic impact of the federal government. Friedman’s financial points have been repeated by the army of economists over the past half century, but the administration’s advisors and the public clearly missed Friedman’s insights. (Click here, here, here, here.)
In simple language, Friedman explained to his audience in 1977 (with forecasting subjects) how incorrect an excess of budget bill is and why it cannot “make America’s great agan.” .
Of course, Friedman understood that taxes were important. This is mainly because they distribute the economic burden of those spending, along with deficit spending, financially and in the process, among taxers, to government spending. Tax changes will help keep government income and property safe and affirm the demand for government programs, curb people’s incentives to work, salvation and research.
However, as Friedman stressed, taxes are not the most direct (or major) source of government economic costs. Government spending displaces the nation’s resources from private sector use (just like taxes). Government spending inevitably blocks private spending by reducing the supply of private goods and services and increasing prices. The federal deficit used to fund additional spending can do much the same by absorbing private lendable funds, increasing interstrate, thereby reducing private investment.
Friedman warned his followers to be (demand side) Keynesians that the (demand side) were also being denied (total demand side) before the 1970s.
Conclusion Comments
With the proposition preventing the return of the 2016 tax rate and ordering a budget “trade” that adds hundreds of billions to federal spending, Trump imagines himself following the principles of conservative principles that he doesn’t recognize that he proposed to increase the “true tax.” Friedman warned that adding government spending could reduce freedom and increase the government’s drag against the government’s private growth sector.
A lesson drawn from Friedman’s financial perspective? The administration you have boasted that Hisus would rejuvenate the economy. The reality is that, contrary to Friedman’s advice, they are attracting voters’ attention from “one thing, and only one thing,” which he (Friedman) deemed important to properly evaluate fiscal policy. From Friedman’s financial perspective, this is not a way to “make America great again” given that Trump’s “beautiful bill” will increase federal spending in 2035 to at least 24 people of GDP this year.
