Of all the personalities he could try and ape to make up for his own lack, I guess the money-grubbing p***k one has been most successful. I really think you're doing a big dis-service to dialling tones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilScotsman Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Budget surpluses are desirable so that the country can begin pay off its accumulated debts. Why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Why? It reduces the repayments and interest you need to fund in the future and ultimately reduces the risk of running into a sovereign debt crisis. And by lowering interest rates makes more borrowing available for the private sector.Of course it's not the nominal size of the debt but the ability to service it that's really important which is why it's generally expressed as a percentage of GDP.This means that if raising taxes or cutting spending to create a surplus causes slow growth in GDP or even a recession the overall effect on Debt/GDP can be negative This much is uncontroversial although those on the right will be inclined to see the benefits of spending cuts but the perils of tax rises, those on the left tend to reverse that emphasis.What is more controversial is how capable the private sector is of filling the gap and generating the growth that the government isn't.There will be a few true believers in Marx or the market who'll take an absolute view on that but most people will think that it depends on the current circumstances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
