Toofargone it's propaganda because it's fear baiting journalism that is full of theoretical situations and some figure head giving scenarios. At any point during biden's time in office you never complained or felt that the economy wss in trouble ask yourself why.
You’re calling this propaganda, but you haven’t actually addressed the economic argument. The economist in the article explained how deficit financed tax cuts could overheat the economy, forcing the Fed to raise interest rates, which could slow growth. Do you disagree?
Media bias exists, but that doesn’t mean every claim is false. Instead of dismissing it as fear baiting, why not focus on whether the economic reasoning holds up?
If you think tax cuts wouldn’t increase inflation or lead to higher interest rates, explain why. Just saying the media picks and chooses isn’t an argument against the economics being discussed.
As for Ukraine...
That’s a completely different topic. We’re discussing economic policy, not foreign affairs. If you want to debate NATO, that’s another conversation, but it has nothing to do with whether deficit financed tax cuts could lead to inflation and higher interest rates.
The definition of a recession has been debated, but that doesn’t change whether tax cuts and spending cuts could impact inflation. If you think the economist is wrong, you need to explain why their prediction about inflation and interest rates is incorrect.
If you actually want to have a serious discussion, engage with the economic points. Dismissing it as ‘fear baiting’ and bringing up NATO isn’t a real counterargument.
Let’s talk facts, do you think cutting taxes by $4.5 trillion while also cutting spending by $2 trillion would have no economic consequences? Why or why not?"
