David Ranson: The Revenue Limits of Tax and Spend - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • President Obama's fiscal 2011 budget, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates a deficit that starts at 10.3% of GDP in 2010. It is projected to narrow as the economy recovers but will still be 5.6% in 2020. As a result the net national debt (debt held by the public) will more than double to 90% by 2020 from 40% in 2008.
  • They do not include deficit spending resulting from the new health-insurance legislation. The revenue numbers rely on increased tax rates beginning next year resulting from the scheduled expiration of the Bush tax cuts. And, as usual, they ignore the unfunded liabilities of social insurance programs,
  • "Hauser's Law," as I call this formula, reveals a kind of capacity ceiling for federal tax receipts at about 19% of GDP.

Because Every Country Is The Best At Something - 17 views

  •  
    Useful chart to demonstrate Specialization and how every country is good at something.  
  •  
    It is very interesting. I posted on my blog at http://valuingeconomics.blogspot.com on Thursday. As I said there, I'm not sure some of those "specializations" are something a country would necessarily be proud of - or something they could "trade." But it is a good example of how every country is "good" at something.

Inequality: Unbottled Gini | The Economist - 0 views

  • Adam Smith may seem unremarkable. But here is Dominique Strauss-Kahn citing the great man in November 2010: “The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful and…neglect persons of poor and mean condition…is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.”
  •  
    This article is perfect for teaching the gini coefficient in the real world.
