Een eerlijke reactie dat je geen discussie wil gebaseerd op cijfers en feiten maar dan zit je wel op het verkeerde subforum denk ik.Ik begin niet aan welles/nietes spelletje door enkele artikeltjes. Ik kan er zo terugsturen met het gebrek aan subsidiëring in verschillende sectoren.
Feit is dat Dhr.Biden serieus zal mogen vechten tegen de Dhr.Trump volgend jaar in november. En in Europa zorgt dit feit voor grote consternatie.
Om verder te gaan op zaken die wel hebben bijgedragen aan de inflatie: reeds in 2017 werd door economen voorspeld dat de Tax Cuts & Jobs Act van de Trump administratie de inflatie zou doen stijgen.
Back when the Trump tax cuts were being debated, economists warned the cuts could eventually lead to out-of-control inflation. And, economists said, the cuts would force the government to borrow to deal with emergencies. In 2021, ProPublica reported the national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That didn’t help the government’s ability to borrow.
When tax cuts pump more money into the economy, it increases demand, which drives up prices, makes inflation worse and prompts the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to combat inflation. Under the Republican plan, some working people will get modest tax cuts, but they will pay for them with higher prices and interest. They also will pay through those cuts to Social Security and Medicare, programs into which they have long paid.
Analysis of first-year results released by the Congressional Research Service in May 2019 found:
- "a relatively small (if any) first-year effect on the economy"
- "a feedback effect of 0.3% of GDP or less," such that the tax cut did not pay for itself
- "pretax profits and economic depreciation (the price of capital) grew faster than wages," meaning shareholders benefited more than workers
- inflation-adjusted wage growth "is smaller than overall growth in labor compensation and indicates that ordinary workers had very little growth in wage rates"
- "the evidence does not suggest a surge in investment from abroad in 2018"
- "While evidence does indicate significant repurchases of shares, either from tax cuts or repatriated revenues, relatively little was directed to paying worker bonuses.

Resultaat: enorme toename in de overheiddschuld. En de verlaagde belasting resulteerde niet in hogere lonen of meer koopkracht. Bedrijven gebruikten dit vnl. om aandelen terug te kopen.
