Can We Afford to Balance the Budget?

Louise Davidson

Chapter 22 in Money and Employment, 1990, pp 339-341 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Public opinion polls taken in recent months have indicated that a large majority of citizens favours reducing the huge Federal deficit. There has been no public ground swell, though, for either raising taxes or cutting government services that affect middle-income living standards. Nor has a cry gone up against letting inflation whittle down income transfers to the poor.
