Le FMI explose les prévisions de déficit public du gouvernement, l'organisation table sur 4,5 % du PIB en 2027 contre... 2,9 % pour Bruno Le Maire. Nouveau coup de massue après le Haut Conseil des finances publiques selon lequel les prévisions de Bercy manquent de "crédibilité" et le scepticisme des agences de notation.

File this under the heading economics is not even a dismal science, because mainstream economics isn’t even science. Economics could actually be a rigorous discipline, if orthodoxy can be kicked out.

“ In contrast to its attitude to private debt, which it ignores, mainstream economics obsesses about government debt. But this volte-face doesn't besmirch its record of being 100% wrong.”

If succeeds in slashing that dedicated revenue so that it is no longer sufficient to fully cover the cost, it will result in an automatic . This would happen without any having to vote for the cuts, or Trump having to sign them into law.

This would be utterly devastating to recipients.

Finances publiques: les mauvaises recettes du gouvernement

Plombé par la baisse des recettes fiscales, le public dérape. Mais au lieu de taxer davantage les et les superprofits pour équilibrer les comptes de l’État, le gouvernement s’obstine à couper dans le modèle social et les services publics.

L’annonce d’un public plus élevé que prévu a intensifié le discours lancé voici quelques semaines sur la menace de la . Ce récit a pour principale fonction de justifier l’austérité future en préservant les transferts vers le secteur privé.

Bruno Le Maire rame pour expliquer le "dérapage" du déficit public: des recettes de TVA "moins dynamiques" (-4 milliards d'euros) et une baisse des "recettes liées au travail", les cotisations salariales et l'impôts sur le revenu (-8 milliards). Traduction, les plus pauvres sont encore plus pauvres malgré le (léger) recul de l'inflation. Qui aurait pu prédire?

C'est la foire à la saucisse pour réduire le déficit public. Dernière trouvaille de Bruno Le Maire, sucrer les cotisations patronales et salariales et augmenter la TVA: une vieille lune de la droite qui suscite une levée de bouclier... à Bercy, considérant que la mesure enfoncerait les plus modestes...

Le couperet est tombé: le déficit de l'Etat grimpe à 5,5% du PIB selon l'Insee, bien au-delà des prévisions officielles du gouvernement qui tablait sur 4,9%, comme s'en vantaient Bruno Le Maire et Macron. Encore un coup de maître de notre Mozart de la finance... Le "tour de vis" promis par l'exécutif, qui refuse obstinément d'augmenter les impôts, promet d'être sanglant...

If you've ever wondered to yourself:

Why the can easily fund the military, but can't seem to fund

or why we can just make more money to bail out the banks but we can't lift people out of poverty

or maybe you've wondered why we can't just print more money

I'm here to tell you, we can, but our are either ignorant of how the works or willfully using it for political gain.

You should read (or listen!) to The Myth.

REMINDER: Upon entering office in 1981, had congress pass his enormous tax cuts for the rich.

The & exploded, and by November of his SECOND year in office (22 months in), had swelled to 10.7%.

He spent the rest of his presidency trying to undo the damage, went on a gov't hiring binge and initiated huge gov't spending programs (notably "") to drive down unemployment... which never fell lower than 7.2% before he left office.
