$8.$ Agreement and disagreement among economists

Suppose that Nick, an economist from a business administration program in Georgia, and Rosa, another economist from an investigative reporting group, are both guests on a popular science podcast. The host of the podcast is facilitating their debate over budget deficits. The following dialogue represents a portion of the transcript of their discussion:

Rosa: I actually feel that raising the top income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively.
