austerity isn't ideology-based

I'm really looking forward to your attempts to defend the analogy between household bills and government spending.

(deffo not shambles, Tue 25 Aug 2015, 12:26, archived)

It's not that hard.
You lose your job but you still have bills to pay. You still own loads of smart shirts and a decent jag, so you hand out loads of IOUs to your mates to borrow some cash to keep up the mortgage repayments, and dump whatever excess spending you have on your credit card.

As long as you still look like you're flash and keep telling people you're "between jobs" rather than dolescum, they'll let you pay off your IOUs with more IOUs so that you can keep the bailliffs at bay. Occasionally you flog something like your family heirlooms or a bit of your back garden to cover unexpected expenses, and that's basically how the UK Government has maintained itself for the last 30 years.

this analogy does not take into account the massive revenues generated by the City of London banking sector, since no-one really understands how those fraudulent cunts are managing their money anyway.

As the not Shambles says, government debt is not a credit card. Public spending is an investment in the nation's economy that results in increased GDP and therefore increased tax revenue. There is a sustainable level of constant rolling-over that maximises growth, but George Osborne is now going on about permanently running a surplus, which is economic insanity. It's not about maximising growth, otherwise they'd listen to the majority of economists who think that austerity has positively damaged the economy.

"Public spending is an investment in the nation's economy that results in increased GDP and therefore increased tax revenue."
That's very much an ideology right there, and Greece is a good example of how little that works.

you're talking in brush strokes that avoid the core details of pretty much every scenario.
Greece paid their employees 14 months' salary for 11 months work. That didn't result in economic prosperity; it resulted in massive amounts of public and private debt as people used their inflated incomes to leverage even more loans.

The Soviet Union pumped obscene amounts of cash into infrastructure, schools, hospitals, universities, factories and power stations from Poland to Vladivovstock; their economy still collapsed because the amount of money they paid in had no impact on the efficiency and therefore profitability of the operation they set up.

Throwing cash at things is not the way to make an economy work, and the 20th century is littered with examples of that.

"austerity" seems to have become shorthand for welfare cutbacks
rather than the broader picture of smaller goverment (reducing bureacracy, shutting down ineffective NGOs, possibly privatising failing industries).

What we had over here was 10% of your state pension contributions going into private funds which were supposedly better-performing. That lasted a whopping three years before people got fed up of the CEO's huge bonuses with sub-par interest yields.

I've seen what welfare means in both Poland and the UK

the media love raising moral panic about benefit fraud,
but it's really an insignificant drain of resources in the grand scheme of things, but here we see what it really comes down to, what i said it was about in the first place, about who "deserves" money.

The idea that people get given welfare for doing nothing, and thus don't "deserve" anything, that really pisses people off who work really hard for whatever they earn, and thus do "deserve" it.

It's the work ethic ideology that i know for a fact that you have, which you've been quite open about in the past.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 25 Aug 2015, 14:12, archived)

That's not what you said in the first place at all, unless you're just a generally bad communicator.
Austerity as a government process for cutting spending is not an ideology, which was our argument. Where those cuts are made isn't even an ideology; you don't cut the services that help grow the economy (like rail/road/air infrastructure, or pension funds), so you have to make your cuts elsewhere. Unfortunately in the UK, there's not that much left to sell off since Maggie did so much of it 25 years ago, so the only non-growth spending areas left are the NHS and welfare, so that's where the cuts are being made.
Deciding which benefit claimants get cut off may be an ideology, but that's a long step from your original statement.

Benefits are being cut because according to Tory ideology, rich people deserve their inheritance while poor people don't deserve benefits. That is exactly what i said in the first place and that is exactly the reason behind austerity policy, and absolutely nothing to do with economic good sense.

That's your ideology showing, not the Torys'.
If you implement an aggressive inheritance tax (which is already 40% in the UK) then you're going to break up large estates and companies that only work due to their size and the inherent economies of scale. You'll chase the 1% out of the country just like France did, and end up with no appreciable gains and lots of negatives from wealth flight overseas.

Can you come up with any actual feasible, plausible areas for government cutbacks other than the current areas, or credible plans for long-term growth?

The banking industry definitely needs a degree of regulation
but I appreciate the way it works in the UK. I watched a trader here negotiate a 3million pound tax payment with an equivalent trader in Her Majesty's Inland Revenue (before the customs/excise merger). Quick phone call, a bit of higher-higher-lower let's-shake-on-it, and the Polish bank has saved a bit of cash and the British Government gets a nice chunk paid instantly by wire transfer. That's how public-private financing *should* work, and it's why the UK is the global hub for banking and financing.

When you're dealing with spot transactions it's very much "how much tax are you going to charge me?"
"If it's too high I'll do the deal in Frankfurt or Paris instead. So let's make it worthwhile for eachother."

Or, of course "I'll pay 3mil right now, or 5mil at years' end so you'll have to wait 8 months for it so you can't balance your books until then. Your call".

It's this immediacy that makes it mutually beneficial. Otherwise the state has to wait for a company to make its end of year accounting, then three months to process it and another two to balance the payment, and THEN you can start making national budgets based on those receipts. Which is a horrendously inefficient way to run an economy.

Closer integration with Europe to standardise tax systems would help here.

hey no-one is saying you can just "throw money willy nilly",
only that austerity and its justifying rhetoric is bullshit. There's a sensible rate at which you can throw money.

But on the Soviet Union, their economy grew quite rapidly until it was strangled by the Cold War requirements of pumping everything into the military, which is essentially unproductive assets, their international isolation forced them to rely almost entirely on domestically-produced raw materials resulting in a Ricardian trap; and anyway, they only really got into the shit as soon as they tried adopting capitalism instead.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 25 Aug 2015, 13:15, archived)

That chart doesn't explain things at all
even that growth in the 70s was fueled by excessive loans taken at exorbitant rates from Western economies, resulting in industrial output having to pay off the interest rather than fuel domestic growth. The Gierek era in Poland is a prime example of this. It wasn't strangled by military spending at all, and if it were then based on that idea the US would have imploded three decades ago.

The '73 oil crisis was a drop in the ocean as to why the Gierek era failed

And I've never advocated for zero government spending, but you can twist the words "significant portion" to mean however much supports your argument
whereas the fact is that government spending hasn't been this high a portion of GDP for 30 years, which is also the last time the economy was shagged. The solution back then was to, in part, reduce the amount of government spending, but despite claims of "economic orthodoxy" you seem fundamentally opposed to it this time round.
( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Tue 25 Aug 2015, 14:21, archived)

spending as a portion of GDP is up,
because GDP is down and there are structural expenditures, the NHS doesn't suddenly become cheaper to run when the economy goes down the pan, so obviously it's going to be a bigger portion of GDP. The "best" proportion of GDP to spend is obviously variable.

You used the phrase "significant portion", what did you mean by it when you claimed it led to "high government costs, inefficient output and massive state corruption".

Except NO because we did a ideology instead, and ignored economic good sense in the name of SHAFTING THE POOR while blaming them for all this shit in the first place. Therefore, the Chinese are fucked because we're still fucked, which means we're fucked again. And now the Chinese are fucked because we're fucked and they're fucked and we're fucked, and the Media are still going to say it's all Socialism's fault.
