The original question
The article tried to connect fiscal policy with borrowing, inflation, currencies and sector performance. Its estimates and legislative descriptions belonged to a specific period.
What remains useful
Separate the text of a policy from assumptions about its economic effects. A fiscal projection depends on the period, baseline and model behind it.
What this page does not do
