At the beginning of the Reagan presidency, the President
proposed a substantial tax cut and suggested that this
policy would attack the very high levels of inflation.
From the point of view of traditional, Keynesian
macroeconomics, this policy seemed:
well-advised because a tax cut is
expansionary fiscal policy that reduces inflationary
pressures.
well-advised because a tax cut is
contractionary fiscal policy that reduces inflationary
pressures.
poorly-advised because a tax cut is
expansionary fiscal policy that increases inflationary
pressures.
poorly-advised because a tax cut is
expansionary monetary policy that increases
inflationary pressures.
