Republicans have pushed a $3.5 trillion, election-year budget through a
divided House that showcases their plans for trimming federal deficits and
contrasts sharply with how President Barack Obama and Democrats would tackle
the nation's fiscal problems.
The GOP package would revamp Medicare, slice everything from food stamps to
transportation and reject Obama's call for higher taxes on the rich. It

Because transfer payments are, in effect, the opposite of taxes, it
makes sense to look not just at taxes paid, but at taxes paid minus

On Monday, he’ll outline a deficit of $1.3 trillion, the largest as a share
of the nation’s economy since World War II. He’ll blame years of runaway

A huge deficit means there are not enough capital in the enonomy system, but
does not necessarily mean the depreciation of dollars, unless, the US
government is printing more money than it should.
So if this is true, that means the depreciation was caused by the US
government monetory policy. If the US government wants to keep the dollar

it needs to do is to stop printing money. This will lead to higher interest

capital to invest would demand a higher return, therefore the interest rate
will rise. That's easy to understand.
