"Mr Ishiba said he didn’t think it was a good idea to fund tax cuts with government bonds" Japan has its own currency. It cannot "fund" tax cuts. The Bank of Japan is the monopoly issuer of currency. Only if people have yen can they buy government bonds. independent.co.uk/asia/japan/jap…



According to EU Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis the increase in government spending by Germany of €1.000 billion over the next ten years is compatible with the EU's fiscal rules. I doubt it. faz.net/aktuell/wirtsc…


An increase in German government spending would be compatible with fiscal rules only "with public spending rising below GDP growth". That, however, is very unlikely. The data show that this happened, but with high net exports. Things are different now... economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/economic-forec…



Deutschland kann über 1.000 Mrd. € per Sondervrmögen ausgeben, aber Trump "treibt das Land in die Schulden" und die "Experten" warnen? Das passt nicht zusammen. Hier sollte Wissenschaft aufklären. In eigener Währung ist Zahlungsunfähigkeit ausgeschlossen. spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soz…
