Subject: Re: Tax, Borrow or Wait? Something�s got to give in Trudeau�s budget, Theophilos Argitis, February 23, 2017
Austerity hawks argue that financial markets will punish Canada for big deficits. But the 2008 financial crisis demonstrated that when our large institutional lenders got into trouble, the Canadian government nonetheless had the fiscal capacity to bail them out with billions in "Extraordinary Financing".
Bond vigilantes have little power when Canadian dollars are no longer gold-backed, and the government's central bank can create by computer entry whatever money the government requires. The federal government can either spend too much causing inflation or too little allowing mass unemployment. Today we have 1.3 million unemployed Canadians whose talents and productivity are being wasted. Infrastructure renewal will employ skilled workers, but the government must also hire off the bottom by creating local jobs in community service and environmental conservation.
During the depths of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes argued in a radio debate, "I do not believe that measures which truly enrich the country will injure the public credit�Look after the unemployment, and the Budget will look after itself."

- "The Bank of Canada's money creation for the Government of Canada is an internal government process. This means that external factors, such as financial markets dysfunction, cannot cause the federal government to run out of money."
