This is great but tbh they should widen the base more than the level. There are tonnes of things not covered by subsidies that should be. E.g. we have to pay $200 a month for daily at home blood test strips.

David Ricardo showed in 1817 that if each country produces according to its comparative advantage, global output is maximized. Many analysts argue today that China's trade surplus reflects its comparative advantage in producing everything, and so its trade surplus is good for

Really funny that it is mainly the RWNJs markets people railing hard against the move to a tiny budget deficit, which was largely the result of income tax cuts, who them complain about income taxes being too high. Blissfully, they expose their pig ignorance having never been near

This 1986 SMH article on the housing crisis could have been written today. Housing cycles are a persistent feature of the market. By the 1990s, the housing crisis was not rising prices but falling prices - the media was all about the housing "slump" back then.
