I scream about inflation and I do not support increased taxes. The US government is wildly inefficient with the tax dollars I already give them. Until they can show some discretion I'll tell them to kick rocks whenever there's a tax increase on the ballot.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoSo given the choice between recession, increased taxes or inflation you choose recession? That's a valid choice, as long as you acknowledge it.
- _-david-_ 5y agoBelieve it or not those are not the only options. Plus the government isn't going to just take the money out of circulation so it won't really fix anything.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoWhat are the other options? Raising interest rates substantially usually causes a recession, balanced budgets always cause a recession.
- _-david-_ 5y agoYou will need to provide some evidence to your claims. There is another choice though, stop printing money for a while.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThe proof is easy, look at the times the US has had balanced budgets and then look for recessions following a year or so later. Works all the way back to Andrew Jackson's time. As for stopping printing money, the Fed did that last summer.
