Modern economic policy has its own sacred cow: the three percent ceiling on the state budget. Many are of the opinion that this expectation—which in practice is rather soft—settles everything in this regard.
The situation, however, is completely absurd, and obviously so, to such an extent that explaining it would be offensive.
The proposal of the Changing World Engineering is as follows: the state budget
- cannot show a deficit of more than 5% in a single year,
- cannot show a deficit of more than 4% on average over two consecutive years,
- cannot show a deficit of more than 3% on average over three consecutive years,
- cannot show a deficit of more than 2% on average over four consecutive years,
- may not show a deficit of more than 1% on average over five consecutive years,
- may not show a deficit on average over six consecutive years,
- may not show a surplus of less than 1% on average over seven consecutive years.
Due to an obvious association, the above principle can also be called the law of the seven cows.
It may arise that the seven-year cycle poses too difficult a task for any, especially a new government. Indeed, governing is not an easy task, but the primary goal and meaning of any governance is the social interest, which requires preventing state indebtedness, prosperity, and development.
Only the law of the seven cows can guarantee this successfully.
