"Rather than speculate on secondary effects, I would like to know if anyone thinks a trillion dollar tax cut, targeted as discretionary funds due to the recipients, will be inflationary?" A conundrum I think. I say this because if the trillion were used to pay down national debt instead, thus reducing credit demand and lowering interest rates, would that stimulus be seen as inflationary? It seems that the Fed would. I used to think we'd be rewarded if the debt were paid down, but other, darker powers would see danger in runaway growth/inflation, no? CF Rebel
