Supply-siders

Sempre els dic que no hi ha res millor que començar el dia llegint les pàgines d'opinió del Wall Street Journal, sense complexos:

"In the early 1980s, Ronald Reagan embraced the ideas of a small group of economists dubbed "supply-siders." They argued that lower taxes and slimmer government would stimulate growth, enterprise, harder work and higher levels of saving and investment. These views were widely ridiculed at the time, dismissed as "voodoo economics." Reagan did succeed in lowering some taxes. But a Democrat-controlled Congress weakened their impact by raising government spending sharply, resulting in large budget deficits."

Confesso que encara no se m'havia acudit culpar als demòcrates dels dèficits estratosfèrics de l'era Reagan. És evident que cada dia s'aprenen coses noves, especialment si un està subscrit al WSJ.
