So we aren't going to do the "Transitory Inflation" thing anymore?????

If you are wondering, they "paused".


In an alternate universe this happened today.

Another reason we should not be concerned by the massive spending is that $1 in government spending = greater than $1 in gdp growth.
Gdp growth = 1/ the propensity to save
The propensity to save is currently ~ 20%
Therefore every dollar spent today grows our gdp tomorrow by $5

This $5 of gdp growth then increases tax revenue by $5.
This increase in tax revenue is used to service the debt.

Basically, we can spend as much as we want with little to zero negative consequences. Long term inflation is not on the way.

He's not. That's standard Keynesian theory that I have to teach in my AP Macro class.

The problem with Keynesian economics is it doesn't take changes in behavior into consideration.

Senr, as a proud American, if the US government will give me a billion dollars, I promise I will spend every dollar on US made goods and services and do my part to help the economy.

AND...it doesn't say you can ALWAYS deficit spend. Only during large downturns, like the Great Depression or other recessions, would it be his policy...

The methodology of M1 changed in early 2020. Look at M2 for a more reliable indicator of money supply change. On M2, even with recent decline in that money supply, we are above multi-decade trend. But it is regressing to trend and nothing like the M1 chart suggests as the M1 chart/data is not adjusted for how savings are included as of 2020.

M2 also shows that inflation was caused by actions in 2020.

The rate of change is essentially the same.

If the govt spent $1 and got $0.10 (90% loss) I'd be VERY surprised at its "efficiency."

If this is sarcasm, I suggest being a tad more subtle. Too damn close to what the economic illiterates on the left actually believe.

ETA: I see now that you copy/pasted from the inflation thread. Well done sir. You got me.
