In India, the annual budget of The State is hugely over-hyped - only because of the delusion that it is The State, with its taxation and spending, that makes private economies grow. Far from the truth.
I have not read much about this year's budget, but on that of the previous year, my post was titled "A Monster's Budget."
In that post, I had concluded sying that if The State was "minimal" (and not a monster) - low taxes, low spending and no borrowing - then this would be in the best interests of society, for the citizenry would have more of their own money to save and invest. Private saving and investment would spur the growth of all our independent, private economies.
Thus, instead of looking towards the Budget of our The State for economic "solutions," the citizenry had better look towards Economic Freedom and The Market - where all the good things lie.
For example, my last post was on free trade over the Open Sea.
Or about the Freedom to grow and sell ganja-charas - and, who knows, a Bhola Company could be floated, much bigger than ITC.
What about nightlife - so much talent, but cruelly repressed.
What about casinos?
What about micro-breweries everywhere, selling fresh draught beer to all, especially the poor?
What can the Budget accomplish compared to Liberty?
