Evaluate legislative proposals funding national job guarantees via targeted AI compute and corporate revenue taxes. Dynamic dynamic trade-offs between labor market absorption, capital flight, productivity, and fiscal solvency.

Automation displacement absorbs private sector workers into federal public employment. High public wage floors incentivize voluntary transition from low-wage service sectors into public work, crowding out marginal private hiring.
Targeted compute and corporate AI taxes generate diminishing marginal returns beyond critical rate thresholds. Higher elasticity amplifies capital flight into international low-tax compute havens.
Diverting capital from AI R&D reduces long-term private sector TFP (Total Factor Productivity) growth, offset partially by aggregate demand stabilization from public employment wages.
