once the personal income tax gets cut heavily....pll will be more inclined to start buying products and services at all price ranges...takes time for the gears to start spinning...
agreed, although I don't think we'll be getting income tax cuts in the UK. It's just very much a case of bailing out the banks, and then asking them nicely to please start lending again.

If I was people, I would read my pension statement and realize that say 15 years of mine and my employers contributions have just gone up in smoke. Then I would spend the next 10 years trying to save something so I would not be in a yogi bear suit, greeting people outside walmart when i was 75

I would spent nothing if I could avoid it - forget tax etc its irrelevant - spend nothing except on essentials - Yorkshire fish and chips and timmy taylor beer

People are nuts! they are nuts ! - they have no idea ! The sky has fallen and they don't realise (Cramer was right but he is wrong now - he says housing is back on track by june)

40% of the world's pension funds assets are wiped out - decades of savings

they think its going to come back ! I reckon Heather's leg will grow back before this lot does

that bailout they just approved is just another weak bandage on a deep economic wound that only time will heal....unless they cut income tax rate so much that consumers will have extra money to start spending again.....thus creating prospect of rising production..leading to hiring again....

obama is an idiot.... he thinks that by throwing money at companies..they will hire ppl again!

they are not going to hire ppl again until they see rise in demand for their products or services!!

need to get the consumer spending again by putting money in...
For immediate effectiveness, this approach advocated by your college professor (a income tax cut of some level) would be the best way to stimulate demand.

However, as a medium or long-term solution it has major flaws, as it does nothing to deal with one of the root causes of the current problem, namely the huge disparity between deficit countries such as the UK and US, and the surplus nations such as China and the Gulf states. These imbalances simply have to be addressed, as the excesses that have built up are unsustainable - the US cannot keep on borrowing ever-greater amounts indefinitely nor can China keep funding this ever-growing deficit.

Therefore, this approach that your professors suggests would work best in surplus countries such as China, where domestic demand has to increase in order to reverse some of the huge imbalances accumulated in the past decade. In the case of the US, if the only stimulus was a huge cut in income tax, all this would do is transfer debt temporarily from the private sector to the public sector.

In the UK and US there needs to be policy action to deal with the immediate slump in demand and lack of credit, but huge amounts of money has to be spent on education and infrastructure, in order to deal with the structural flaws in the Anglo-Saxon economic model. In short, effective economic stimulus need to be carried out on a global basis in order to have the best chances of success.

If there are good news for the US, doesn't that imply gbpusd goes up because of risk aversion?....
