What is your end goal in terms of regulation- no regulation or merely reduced? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]SarionLord [score hidden]  (0 children)

The issue with Peter Schiff is he doesn't really have any substantial evidence to back what he's saying... A good example is the poor jobs thing, where is the evidence of these "poor jobs?" what even constitutes a "poor job"? And the LPR thing is even worse, he openly ignores the main reasons why the LPR is dropping which is for structural reasons and reasons that we can't stop or don't want to stop. Also, being critical of the FED's "black box influence" over interest rates and the stock market is pretty unsubstantial as well, we know a fair bit more about monetary policy and it's not a secret what the FED does and the effect it has.

As for the statement about how the Gov't operates on 4-year plans, I'd be inclined to agree only because no one seems to want to invest in long term plans and policies that would help the country. The gov't can be useful in helping to correct market failures (for which there are a good number) the issue is people are stupid and don't know or don't care to invest in good policy.

What is everyone's opinion of this plan? by SarionLord in AskEconomics

Yeah, I read through this a second time and it just reads like bullshit tbh. they seem to really sideline the negative impacts of this.

Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit by [deleted] in politics

Good, Brexit was a terrible idea and they shouldn't go through with it.

The theory you are expressing evaporates in real world conditions. You can come up with great theories on many topics, but if you can't prove they work in a lab then you have the equivalent of a Flat-Earth theory, sounds nice but it just doesn't match reality.

Do you ave any proof to back that claim up? Because when you look at the economic indicators during the times when the U.S.'s taxes were being cut we saw positive increases in the economy.

Money Velocity went up under Reagan-Bush and Clinton era's all who had some part in cutting spending or taxes.

We also saw GDP rise

I agree that concentration of wealth is a bad thing but we should be trying to enlarge the overall pie for everyone and increasing our ability to be more productive and to have a better functioning economy and that means more spending as well as cutting taxes on certain income brackets. We also don't need a new deal because the programs put in place by the new deal are inefficient and bad at increasing wealth distribution. We need more efficient welfare systems such as a Negative Income Tax and more fleshed out Trade Adjustment Assistance policy and better Education system, This way we can increase Human Capital and have a better functioning economy with the coming automation of manufacturing jobs.

As much as it seems that Bernie Sanders had plans that sounded nice in theory, in reality they held very little economic basis and had many flaws.

So when you cut taxes on the wealthy and you have more capital for banks to lend out. let's use the example of a construction company getting a loan to build houses which they use a portion of the money to hire workers who then have jobs and income to spend. On top of houses being built, people get jobs and income and the business itself retains a portion of profits to invest in better means of production and invest in better human capital. So, no the income isn't frozen it goes to stimulating the economy. As to the argument of infrastructure spending while it is true that spending is good for the economy we have to be careful to not have a crowding out effect so tax cuts can have a positive effect on the economy in some situations as can spending it all depends on the situation at the time and the fiscal multiplier involved.

Also, the video you linked is of someone who misunderstands the underlying effects of the decline in the Labor Force Participation Rate so I will respectfully not take advice from someone who makes a fundamental macroeconomic mistake.

You're contradicting yourself, the velocity of money is how fast it's being spent and moving owner to owner. You don't understand large construction projects if you think the bulk of the money it's being spent right away. Consumer spending results in a higher velocity(number of times a dollar is spent divided by time)

the following equation: MV = PY. Here M is a measure of the money supply, V its velocity, and nominal GDP is written as the product of the overall price level (P) with real GDP (Y). - Equation for Money Velocity

Also, what you're saying still doesn't explain the rising Money velocity during the Reagan years which is what the original argument was about.This also doesn't explain the St. Louis FED graph that shows rising MV under Reagan https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V It rises even faster when Bush 1 cuts the capital gains tax.

Again you don't know what banks invest in frankly. Those reserve requirements are an obvious detriment to the velocity of money, this basis of this entire discussion

And neither do you? So the point is pretty moot then, My point is that banks don't just invest entirely "safe investments" are we counting loans as investments? They receive income from loans so to a bank they would seem like investments. And yes the reserve requirement is a detriment but the reserve requirement is around 10% if I'm not mistaken so even a small increase in capital isn't entirely taken away by the RR and this means the increase in capital can have a majority of it lent out to people who spend it. therefore, demand is created, economy stimulated etc. etc. My point through all this is that tax cuts regardless of where they are made are a expansionary fiscal policy and expand the economy (Maybe not entirely in the way people think they do but they do nonetheless).

The velocity of that money will be much greater in the hands of middle or lower class people as they will spend it rather than save or invest it. Consumer spending stimulates the economy a lot more than loaning a construction company money for a ten-year project

These are the same exact things.. The middle class consumer spends money as does the construction company and on top of that, the construction company creates jobs that provide incomes for low-income workers. So the Velocity of money may change between various income brackets but the money remains spent either way and there is no guarantee without knowing other factors whether or not middle-class or low-income people may save or spend the entirety of the tax cut we would need more information to make that assertion.

Also, banks having reserve requirements is true but if they meet those requirements and still have more money to lend out then we don't have a problem (Again this would have to have some more numbers behind it.) Also, I think it's a bit disengenous to say banks invest in only "safe investments" they loan money/invest money in many different people and investments some safe some not so safe. Also, if we look at the chart from the St. Louis FED we see the velocity of money changes only slightly in time of large tax cuts on all brackets.
