Even in a stagnent economy, if the economy grows in nominal terms which it still can,
stagnant means little or no growth
the Department of Finance is projecting the economy will see almost no growth (0.4 per cent) next year.
I won't explain the concept because that is a complete waste of my time
no
i think if you insult me like you did you had better be ready to explain yourself
hand waving does not cut it
your claim of "you can not run deficits in perpetuity" is just not true.
wrong
name a country that has done this successfully
a business? forget it
if you report losses for more 7 years , they CRA audit you as the viability of the business is very questionable
Even if there is a recession, as long as there is overall growth then you increase your capacity to make interest payments.
too funny
your contradict yourself in the same sentence
pay attention now
what s the definition of a recession?
a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP
so there is not overall growth
you do understand what the words decline , reduced or a fall in GDP mean,.......... or do you?
It is only if interest rates start piling on that you can get in trouble,
???????
gee its a good thing that never ever happens
WTF ??
recessions happen
inflation happens
interest rates increasing happens
the funny thing about interest rates is they often move in long term trends
30 years of declining rates to next to zero and then a move up
what's next ? , who knows , certainly not the fools who decide they can run deficits in perpetuity
what's the reason for deficits? excessive govt spending
excessive govt money printing/spending drives inflation >>> higher interest rates
opps, there goes your theory
BUT that isn't your claim, you just said "you can not run deficits in perpetuity' this is categorically false. To suggest that a few bad years makes your claim true just shows either an utter ignorance of economic history or wishful thinking on your part.
"you can not run deficits in perpetuity' is absolutely true
recessions happen
inflation happens
interest rates increasing happens
since you brought up economic history
name a country that has successfully run deficits in perpetuity ?
history is littered with examples of countries which have tried , only to crash and burn & screw their bond holders, devalue their currency (to screw the bond holders) or go begging to the IMF
again a loan requires both a lender and a borrower
lenders demand higher rates to lend to serial deficit generators
higher rates?
opps, there goes your theory
Almost nothing you posted actually challenges anything I have said, it is obvious that either you are incapable of understanding it, or your 2 minutes of hate/political cultism is getting in the way.
wrong again
Again your claim is
you can not run deficits in perpetuity
Well if you increase the economy by just 2 percent because of inflation and another percent because of population growth and your deficits only increase your debt by 1 percent... that proves that YOUR STATEMENT is wrong.
name a country that perpetuity runs deficits where the debt only increases by 1 %.............in perpetuity
that is mathematically impossible unless the cost of borrowing is less than 1% .............in perpetuity
Canada will be lucky to each out 2 % growth even with 3+% population growth
is our debt growing @ 1% ?
no the debt is growing much much faster than that
your example is a fictious fairy tale
Now if you run the deficit in such a manner that increases your debt to GDP ration which has been happening in much of our history, yes you can get in trouble we had a moment of reckoning in the 1990s, but that is NOT YOUR FUCKING CLAIM. The problem isn't the deficits, it's deficits that are too large.
???
unless the cost to borrow money is free ,......in perpetuity, which it is not
constant deficits will always grow the debt
A is always growing that is the definition of perpetual deficits
R is positive ... in perpetuity
if you don't reduce A, which never happens if you are running perpetual deficits , the debt servicing cost increase , which in turn increases A
FFS, the more shit I read on terb the more monarchy just makes sense. Even a tool like Chuck if he was actually put into a position of absolute power would be able to figure it out.
irrelevant drivel
why don't you run deficits in perpetuity ?
you know , just show up at the bank every year and take out a brand new annual loan of say $50,000 every year
tell the loan officer you have a ratio to show him
