Putting the Fiscal Deficit in Perspective …

Posted By John Schroy On 25th October 2004 @ 09:48 In Government Officials | Comments Disabled

Over the last generation (since 1983), every two or three years the United States has had a fiscal deficit greater than in 2004, relative to the Gross Domestic Product.

Two of these larger deficits occurred in 1991 and 1992, during the Clinton Administration. Steve Verdon, on Deinonychus antirrhopus, presents several charts illustrating this point, along with links to sites that expand further on the matter.

The 2004 fiscal deficit, although high, occurred at a time when the trade deficit was even higher — a true record level relative to the GDP — and therefore there was an ample supply of fixed-income-oriented investment funds available to absorb the fiscal deficit, thereby keeping inflation under control and interest rates down.
