Subject: Re:  Bank of Canada�s Stephen Poloz gives the nod to Trudeau�s deficits: Walkom, April 14, 2016

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/04/14/bank-of-canadas-stephen-poloz-gives-the-nod-to-trudeaus-deficits-walkom.html

Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz understands that federal government spending must adjust to decisions of the non-government sectors. The household sector is over-leveraged and must save more than it spends in order to reduce debt. This means less money circulates in the economy. Also, the price of oil has dropped and Canada has a larger trade deficit. Again more money is leaving the economy to purchase foreign goods than foreigners are buying here. When demand at home drops, domestic businesses are understandingly reluctant to invest in new productive capacity, and will retrench.

So if decisions of the private and external sectors result in a stagnating economy, only government can prevent a downward spiral. Without federal deficit spending, the Canadian economy will not miraculously balance itself.

At last count there were two broad macroeconomic sectors � the government and the non-government. The non-government sector can be decomposed into the private domestic sector and the external sector. The private domestic sector can be further decomposed into households who consume and firms who invest (in productive capital).

Macroeconomics is easy � that's it! 2 broad spending sectors and then some more detail.
