  1. Pozdravljeni,

    vas lahko prosim za obrazložitev citata iz enega izmned zgornjih člankov:

    “The national debt is a burden on future generations. This fallacy is repeated so often that it has entered the collective unconscious. The argument is that if the current generation spends more than it earns, the next generation will be forced to earn more than it spends to pay for it.

    But this ignores the fact that holders of the very same debt will be among the supposedly burdened future generations. Suppose my children have to pay off the debt to you that I incurred. They will be worse off. But you will be better off. This may be bad for the distribution of wealth and income, because it will enrich the creditor at the expense of the debtor, but there will be no net burden on future generations.”

    Kljub prebranemu mi ni jasno: kdo ta dolg plača?

    Hvala in lp,

    Blaž

    Všeč mi je
