“The #UnitedStates has run annual #trade #deficits in #manufactured #goods since 1976. Last year, despite the sharp increase in Trump’s now-illegal #tariffs, the US #tradedeficit in goods hit a new record of $1.2 trillion.”
Such a good explanation on Trumpynomics and collapse of the USA by Prof. Jeffrey Sachs

#Trump set what he called “reciprocal” #tariffs on most countries in April 2025 to address #trade #deficits that he declared a “national emergency”. Those came after he imposed extra #duties on #Canada, #China & #Mexico, ostensibly to address a “drug trafficking” “emergency”.

"Why the ‘ #CrowdingOut’ story is based on faulty assumptions; how #deficits and #surpluses really work; why banks do not lend from a fixed pool of #savings..."

They are not necessarily saying: #deficits cause #unemployment.
They are saying: #deficits and #unemployment tend to deteriorate together during downturn stress regimes.
Market strategists often look at this relationship as risk co-movement, not causality. Their arrow likely means: When #unemployment rises, #deficits widen → markets may price more Treasury supply → potential bond pressure → macro stress signal.
“A balanced budget”?
Which one?

I think the #deficits of our #public #communication system for #government, the basis of Oz #social #cohesion & #disaster management, have been made clear recently. Suggest a #mediaRC now as a preliminary to any clumsy #legislation to cover up deficiencies. #auspol
Republicans cause massive #deficits. Democrats pay them down. GOP destroy everything needed to grow an #economy: #education; #investments in #infrastructure, #science & in #human beings. That means no way to pay down the #debt. Democrats do invest in all of that. 70% #GDP comes from blue counties.

How bad is the current #drought in #Iran? This chart depicts the fraction of Iran's population exposed to 1-year #water surpluses (blues) and #deficits (reds) since 1981. Note the nearly four year period of exceptional deficits, now experienced by nearly everyone in the country.
The #CBO based its latest #estimate on #tariffs imposed by #Trump between Jan 6 & Nov 15. primary #deficits would be reduced by $2.5 trillion over 11 years, with government borrowing costs falling by around $500 billion as a result. The August estimate was $3.3 trillion & $700 billion, respectively.
While #TRUMP did not specify the frequency with which #dividends would be paid, nor the precise amount (he said “at least $2,000 a person”), we estimate that $2,000 dividends would increase #deficits by $6t over 10 years, assuming dividends are paid annually.

#deficits are not paid by tax $. The Gov tells the BofC to create X$. Not inflationary if creating assets. Taxes & interest rates are tools to influence market behaviours. Govt #budget is not the same as a household. The conservative's response is mostly lies. #cdnpoli #budget2024
