Economics: supply-side economics

Self-tutoring about economics: the tutor begins about supply-side economics.

Supply-side economics claims that by lowering taxes, investment will be stimulated which will more than make up for the lost tax revenue.

Although supply-side economics is associated with Ronald Reagan, a philosophical argument might suggest that any government that runs successive deficits believes in supply-side economics. Otherwise, they would raise taxes in order to finance their programs so the budget would be balanced.

The US government has run a deficit since around 2002; the Canadian, since around 2016.
