Bill Mitchell — Of course governments will be fiscally stretched if they define large surpluses as the norm

Summary:
Wednesday and a short blog post. I regularly work for unions as an expert analyst/witness in their struggles to achieve wage justice with employers who are intent on paying as little as possible.
