I don’t understand those who say, for instance, that “we have needs in education, so we must increase the deficit.” If we have such needs, then we must finance them, mainly through taxes. I don’t think that the defense budget can continue increasing at the rate it has for the past few years.
Which brings me back to what I said about the importance of a peace agreement. When people say that there is no partner for a peace agreement, that is always true: you need two to tango, and it is very important to start this tango. Regarding monetary policy, the interest rate is a tool that affects the entire economy.
