Question No.3
In 1962 in a speech before the Economic Club of New York, President Kennedy argued that “…it is a paradoxical truth that taxes are too high today and tax revenues are too low – and that the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now” Is President Kennedy’s argument consistent with supply-side economics? Why or why not?
Question No.4
Policymakers are debating what to do about a recession. One group wants to offer each citizen a tax rebate of $600. Another group wants to increase government spending in the amount of $600 per citizen. Which policy would introduce more spending into the economy? Why?
