"@t0nyyates.bsky.social Hi Tony. At risk of looking foolish can I ask..

If, instead of raising interest rates 1% to dampen down inflation, a govt imposed an equivalent temporary 'interest levy' of 1%

..wldn't that ⬆️ tax take & ⤵️ the deficit & govt borrowing?

If so why isnt it preferred to rate ⬆️?"
