David Rosenberg notes:
“Some will argue
that there are tremendous supply-side elements to the tax package that was
passed last year. Pure bunk. It is almost all classic Keynesian-style stimulus.
And it’s all being financed by issuing more debt at a time when the structural
or “cyclically adjusted” budget deficit already is 3 per cent of GDP. At this
stage of the cycle, at full employment, the government should be running a
balanced budget or even surpluses − as they do in Germany. Running structural
deficits at this level is destabilizing for the financial markets, and I am
concerned that there is less discussion on this than there is on how wonderful
the earnings season is − which is primarily because of the transitory effects
of the tax stimulus”.
