Suppose the government wants to spend $696 billion on goods and services and make $461 billion in transfers this year. If the government has $7,434 billion in debt at the beginning of the year and raises $963 billion in taxes, how much will government debt rise or fall? Assume that the nominal interest rate is 2.55 percent and that the money supply does not change. Report your answer in billions of dollars to 2 decimal places.

To eliminate the deficit (and halt the growth of the net public debt), a politician suggests that “we should tax the rich.” The politician makes a simple arithmetic calculation in which he applies a higher tax rate to the total income reported by “the rich” in a previous year. He says that the government could thereby solve the deficit problem by taxing “the rich.” What is the major fallacy in such a claim?
Summarize MMT in one sentence. Why should federal debt be thought of differently than household debt? If fiscal budgets don’t need to balance, what should we be trying to balance in an economy? Explain how a government deficit is society’s surplus. If we don’t care about the size of the “deficit”, then is there NO limit on government spending? How does MMT advise that the above problem be handled?
6.9 An editorial in the Wall Street Journal states: “We don’t put much stock in future budget forecasts because they depend on so many variables.” What variables would a forecast of future federal budget deficits depend on? Why do these variables make future budget deficits difficult to predict?

Assume that the government is implementing an expansionary fiscal policy and as a result has increased borrowing. At the same time, the central bank is carrying out a contractionary monetary policy. As a result, we can expect: Interest rates would rise substantially and private investments would be significantly reduced. Interest rates would not change substantially as the 2 policies counterbalance each other, and private investments would not be significantly reduced. Interest rates and private investments would rise. Interest rates and private investments would fall.

According to the Keynesians, the demand for money depends on income and interest rate. The liquidity trap occurs because the interest rate is so very low and everyone expects it to rise. Please draw and explain whether the fiscal policy is effective or not when there is liquidity trap.
