If the government does not do X, Y, Z we will re-enter recession

1. won't spending cuts negate the revenue increase?

I don't have the numbers(so somebody enlighten us)

The problem with government policy(any) is that it often assumes the one you want to control will stay static and wait for you to make your move.

Look at Greece. while the government is diddling back and forth, solid assets are going OUT. Gold, euros, equipment. The smart BIG money will not wait. It's gone already. But if you try to control it, it leaves faster.


In the long run it looks like stability/statism is here to stay. one decision negates the other.

It's like telling a blue whale where to go and yet warning the krill it's going to change direction at the same time
