"Hi Mark -- I think you are mis-applying the quotation. "It clearly will be inflationary if it is financed by creating money." That is exactly what the Fed has done now for decades. So stopping deficit spending has it as been financed in recent years/decades would in fact "do it." You could make an argument (as per Friedman) that stopping the creation of money to finance it would also "do it." But that's not what you wrote here"

"@MarkInvicta That's not correct Mark. The Fed has been steadily increasing (as a trend) M2 its balance sheet etc in correlation with increased deficit spending and debt"

"It's a fair question CLAB and I don't have an answer for you. The only "play" that makes any sense in my mind is to cut the deficit spending (large) and to start by cutting our foreign interventionism/defense (war)/aid spending and go from there. But few want to follow that path"

"Hi KG - Yes on cutting tariffs but that's a problem on the margins -- this problem grew for decades prior to the imposition of tariffs. The government should stay out of business including setting wages. Deficit spending tends to find its way to those with assets and connections to government ie the wealthy. Cut that and you fix much of the inequality problems that we face"

"Yes. And for sure data over XX years () proves all points about the glory of government spending and how it is the key to all prosperity. Your argument doesn't warrant a response or further effort Nigel. Again please just explain why the Soviet Union didn't work and we can go from there"

"I actually disagree Eddie though I understand your point of course. Better would be to hold the line here (rates should be higher but hiking is out of the question for various reasons) and force the Adminsitration and Congress to start addressing spending and deficits now -- not tomorrow"

"@KobeissiLetter Yes though over the last couple of years even the Fed's cutting of interest rates has often driven yields on long term bonds higher not lower -- as the bond market worried further on inflation with those cuts -- making the problem of skyrocketing interest expense even worse"

"@unusual_whales The only "fix" is to tame inflation via cutting deficit spending and thereby cut costs for domestic production for manufacturers"

"QE is not "keeping money markets functioning" or "stimulating lending" or "reassuring markets" -- it's simply the central bank purchasing open securities on the market and putting those securities on its balance sheet. It is what it is -- you can try to justify it but it is QE"

"Hi Nigel. Thank you for your thoughts. I honestly think you are out of your mind on this and I have no interest in continuing this ridiculous discussion. If you want to believe that government spending is the key to prosperity I am happy to have you continue to be deluded in that manner. Perhaps the Soviet Union had it correct all along. All the best to you truly"

"@Rob66733000 I agree Rob "light" -- but for now the question is how quickly that will change. I am guessing "quickly" but we will have to see what happens"

"Well I don't necessarily agree with that perspective -- you can tax a productive economy and a productive economy will likely feature (in the absence of "policy responses") deflation as more and more goods and services are produced and you can certainly tax that. But I agree with your original point that DC is not interested in deflation. But I would point to other motives for it than the tax point"

"Obviously we disagree here. It's nonsensical to say that nothing matters until the 10-year gets to 5%. It's not the level that matters as much here it's the rising of the 10-year (if it continues which is still an if) while the Fed is cutting rates. So it's totally nonsensical to claim that the 10-year could rise on a rate cut to XXX or XXXX% and it wouldn't matter. I agree with the point about inflation not leaving too much money in the system and that Powell probably would prefer not to cut if he could avoid it. Otherwise it's clear that we should agree to disagree and move on"

"That's fine. I agree with all of that and David likes deflation too. You said that you cannot tax deflation and that "During a typical deflation with bankruptcies and falling economic activities tax receipts collapse across the board for sales tax income tax property taxes and capital gains taxes." I respectfully disagree with the first point and respectfully disagree on the second point when one looks at the entirety of American history as being too generalized. I think we can move on as we agree on much more than we disagree"

"Actually Joel no. 10-year yields going up twice now in back to back years on Fed rate cut cycles is not something we have seen in past years. The point is not that yields can only go down over long periods featuring Fed rate cuts. Obviously there are fluctuations. But it's unusual for the 10-year to rise precisely when the Fed is cutting rates and that has happened in back to back years"
