The new US monthly treasury statement was released today, closing the books on fiscal year 2019. The fiscal year ended with a $984 billion deficit, significantly higher than earlier forecast estimates of $700 billion. What does /biz/ make of this? Why didn't the tax cuts work in terms of generating enough new revenue to cover the deficit?

Boomers are fucking retarded. You don't cut revenue to increase profits. Thats the business plan of a moron.

Tax cuts only increase tax revenue if the tax cuts free up capital that creates productive investment in the States. It assumes that the system is relatively closed, not wide open like the US. The results of the tax cuts largely went abroad, either directly in the form of FDI or indirectly through increased consumption of goods.

Until they do. At 5.1% of GDP thats a massive inflaton rate if no one will loan you the money anymore.

The next century easily. Who's the other contender? China, Russia, India, Brazil, the EU, all have much bigger issues. America will keep being the power broker.

as of Q4-2016 foreigners have stopped buying US debt for the most part. What now? Those repo blowups, those are the product of this fact.

Doubt we're going to go back to Gold and silver and then keep doing the same shit in history by removing the backing. Also doubt countries trust each other anymore with fiat.

We'd all find it fun but crypto won't be adopted because there's no help line you can call if you send your coins to the wrong address. 90% of the human race isn't capable of using crypto safely.

Crypto will stick around but its real world uses will be limited to random purchases or taking money across tight borders via brain wallets.

Just look up Luke Gromen. He explains it all in detail all over the place. The short version is the primary dealers are required by law to buy US treasuries and the treasury is ramming them down their throats. Private market liquidity is choking on debt. They are now printing it.

A global backing currency called the bancor that everyone trades against. Ask keynes about it, it was his idea.

I didn't say I had the perfect solution, calling for one is a tactic used to dismiss an argument without countering it. All I said was most people can't handle crypto.

Mainstream society is not going to accept to adoption of something that could lose them a rent payment if they press the wrong button.

gold backed currency works...until bankers realize they can print more redeemable currency than they have because most people are not going to try and redeem the gold. its human nature to fuck it all up, but its still the best option we have

it shouldnt even be a fucking choice of having a gold backed currency versus having a private cartel print money whenever they want

You make it sound like we'll never have apps or software that help with making crypto easier to use. Like how its easier to just scan the QR code of someone's address. Or you think somehow a business (assuming it isn't a scam business) isn't going to send you back the amount you sent too much of

>human nature to fuck it all up
And thats what countries won't trust anymore.
