Talk:Balanced budget

message: I disagree with the money claim for two reasons, first of all because according to monetary theory inflation is linked directly to an increase in the money supply, therefore with no increase in the money supply there will be no inflation. Secondly whilst you might not increase the actual amount of cash in the system there would still be other increases in wealth because that money has to move around the system - e.g. for buying goods and services. Once the money has been transferred it will be invested in producing more goods - therefore increasing the value of the economy whilst not actually increasing cash.
I don't need to add, that if cash is not being used then it has no intrinsic value - hence the view that has been espoused about the real value of money is far too simplistic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.225.189.243 (talk) 10:18, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

In practice deficits and surpluses still occur to less extremes and more managed through bonds and other more public resources than banks and private lenders.  -- Taxa (talk) 01:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Not only that but a list of what all the variables represent and why they are included. Regardless the  conclusion reached is erroneous. What a balanced budget does is reduce the tax burden on taxpayers by eliminating the need to pay interest on borrowed money. -- Taxa (talk) 01:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article include the following in the lead:
 Many economists argue that moving from a budget deficit to a balanced budget decreases interest rates,[2] increases investment,[2] shrinks trade deficits and helps the economy grow faster in the longer term.
While that may be true for most economists, they lead should also mention the opposing POV of the economists who take a different stance on deficits. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 00:41, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
