old PGL boner

calling a tax holiday

"pushing taxes back"
as in


"we did not get a tax cut – only a tax shift.
Yes, government spending did not decline
 so somebody will have to pay more in taxes someday."


this is half truth  NK ism
                                        at its most foul


the good old
  foresight   horizon
                    uncle sam  budget constraint assumption

again
not recognizing
 the power of  Ponzi as sovereign
 plus
  the ever present option
of a  sovereign
 controlled  real debt  burn
                                  thru
                    a managed    acceleration
                          of
                             nominal wage and output price
                                                                             inflation


plus
the FED's
      total control
of
   the  array of nominal safe interest rates
ie
the   time structure of safe rates

plus

 the implicit
 welfare enhancement theorem

 when the production economies'  default  risk
                                                            is fully socialized            

plus .......
