Who creates the caps on government borrowing?

In the USA it is Congress. They have to pass legislation to authorize the government to borrow more money (raise the debt ceiling). Indirectly the Federal Reserve and the market also put a cap on it since the ability to borrow depends on the interest rate that must be paid on any bonds issued by the government. Higher interest rates set by the Fed cause the interest rates that must be paid on government bonds to have to be higher to actually sell. The market also determines what interest rate will be required to sell all the bonds - the less demand there is for the bonds, the higher the interest rate has to be in order to make them attractive enough to sell and the better the yields on other potential investments, the higher the interest rates have to be in order to be sufficiently competitive. The higher the interest rates, the more difficult it is to get approval to borrow.

What is called elastic revenue response to marginal tax reductions?

Elastic revenue response to marginal tax reductions refers to the change in tax revenue that occurs when tax rates are lowered, which can stimulate economic activity and increase taxable income. This concept suggests that lower tax rates can lead to higher overall revenue as individuals and businesses may earn more and engage more in the economy, offsetting some of the revenue lost from the lower rates. The elasticity of this response varies depending on factors like the economic environment and the specific tax rate changes implemented.

What happens when the demand for labor is more elastic?

When the demand for labor is more elastic, employers are more responsive to changes in wages. A small increase in wage rates may lead to a significant decrease in the quantity of labor demanded, as firms can substitute labor with capital or reduce their workforce. Conversely, if wages decrease, firms may significantly increase their demand for labor. This heightened sensitivity can lead to greater fluctuations in employment levels in response to wage changes.
