    since the govt took a lot of money from the private sector the government should accelerate spending so the money gets pumped back into the economy

    let the private sector earn that money back

    thing is if the government doesn't spend fast enough

    if they sit on the money they took from the private sector the economy will slow down

    everybody's looking for signs on whether the pinoy consumer is buying less

    and indeed there are already signs

    higher taxes take money away from the private sector

    money that should have been spent on buying stuff gets confiscated by the govt

    here's our money

    nope uls consumer spending is high. ako kasi lagi ako kung nasan bago. kanila lang nasa Landers Arcovia, grabe ang haba ng pila sa pizzahan. and haba din ng pila sa pagpapamember. and also Ayala Malls 30th and the New Podium have so many people these days.

    basta alam ko people are smart nowadays, they go to places where this is value or bang for the buck experience. the FB Pages are leading the way, coz of so many promos. Promos that you will never read on print or even ads.

    would I go to Eastwood, Glorietta, Greenhills these days to spend my money. a Big No. dami mas maganda malls and experience ngaun, why go to those old and aging mall styles of yesterdays.

    kanina nga sa Landers, I got a big chilled carrot cake for only P499 for my dad. pang pre-father's day ko na yun bukas sa tatay ko hihi,

    i also got green tea matcha powdered parang nescafe 3 in1, a small chunk of mozzarella cheese, a french vanilla cappucino powdered, all these are my tastes right now. sa Landers lang makikita. maybe in SNR too, pero S&R so jologs.

    sa Arcovia, kasama ko mga kapitbahay ko tiga Valle Verde. and also have free haircut, kahit araw-araw ako magpagupit, basta may proof of purchase ka lang. and best of all, FREE PARKING!

    I think ito yung crowding out effect. Most lending is gobbled up by the public sector crowding out the private sector. Tingin ko napupunuan ng public sector yung pagbaba ng consumption ng private sector. But let's see.

    just some thoughts:



    higher taxes act as a brake

    you tax something high to discourage people from buying it

    evidence -- look at motor vehicle sales

    dunno about softdrinks i don't have data on softdrink sales

    --

    if govt economists are smart they know TRAIN law will slow down the economy if they don't offset it by spending the taxes they collected and spend it fast

    --

    it's weird that a govt will embark on an infrastruture spending spree when an economy is running hot

    governments usually engage in stimulus spending when an economy is sluggish to make up for the lack of private sector spending

    but our private sector spending is strong

    --

    the govt applies the brakes on consumer spending with TRAIN

    yeah meron naman tax cuts so more take home pay

    but higher prices easily offset the tax cuts

    --

    yes TRAIN caused inflation

    so did the weaker peso (higher import prices)

    so did rising global commodities prices since January 2018

    a global trade war should hold down commodities prices as global trade slows down coz many countries put up protectionist barriers
