You know, no taxation without representation is on that license plate on everybody in the District of Columbia. And what it really is saying is the Constitution gives to the Congress, not to the president, the power to impose taxes or tariffs. the Constitution gives to the Congress, not to the president, the right to regulate fo ...

How the Economic Machine Works Part 5
Principles by Ray Dalio· 2025-10-31 13:01
Economic Impact of Deleveraging - Lower incomes and increased unemployment reduce government tax revenue while simultaneously increasing the need for government spending on unemployment benefits [1] - Governments often implement stimulus plans and increase spending, leading to budget deficits as they spend more than they earn in taxes [2] - Governments may raise taxes on the wealthy to redistribute wealth, potentially causing resentment between different socioeconomic groups [3] - Continued economic depression can lead to social disorder and political instability, both within and between countries [4] Monetary Policy Response - Central banks, having lowered interest rates to near zero, may resort to printing money to stimulate the economy [5] - Central banks print money to buy financial assets and government bonds, as the Federal Reserve printed over $2 trillion during the 2008 crisis [6] - This action increases asset prices, benefiting those who own financial assets, but the central bank can only buy financial assets [7] - Central banks cooperate with the central government, which can buy goods and services, by buying government bonds, effectively lending money to fund stimulus programs [8] Risks and Policy Considerations - Policymakers must balance deflationary and inflationary measures to manage debt burdens and maintain stability during deleveraging [9]

Well, it's going to make my daddy's proposals harder to get through the legislature.The state is facing a seven and a half billion dollar budget deficit. You have the cuts from the one big, beautiful bill. So they're going to h ...
