I was this close to not posting tonight. T-4 days until Joe Biden takes the oath of office.
I'm not up on my "Bidenomics", however, what I see at a glance here isn't much of a surprise.
In a new essay at Law and Liberty I characterize Bidenomics as “paranormal.” Here’s a teaser:
US government debt now stands at $20 trillion, or roughly 100% of GDP. This should be a concern, but Democratic economists are not worried. A much-discussed November 30 paper by former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and former Council of Economic Advisors Chairman Jason Furman suggests that Democratic thinking has veered into the paranormal, with an emphasis on levitation. Governments will be able to borrow and spend as much as they want for whatever purpose they want, the authors argue in so many words, and interest rates will remain low forever.
