Burnham has no understanding of how government finances work. He still thinks that he has to 'find the money'. He doesn't. The government creates all the money it spends. What he does have to find is all the resources (people, equipment, buildings . . .) a national care service will need.

(1/5) Your opponent says the deficit proves we're spending recklessly. You freeze. They score a point. But you don't have to. There's a way to learn the rebuttal that actually wins.

"France jettisoning neoliberalism" assumes the problem was the ideology, not the constraint. The real shift: treating real resources and employment as the binding limits, not the deficit. That's not post-neoliberal. That's MMT.

So I am going to emphasize yet again #MMT proponents who tell you that it’s the tax that sets the value of fiat money, are arguing against Knapp.

Money can be promissory or it could be definitive, which is to say it is final it’s not convertible on demand into anything […]

“ If the bank owes me a hundred marks, and I hold one of its notes, I can then certainly use the document, first to get the hundred marks paid out to me, and also secondly to pay the bank a hundred marks if I happen to owe it so much. The note, therefore, is a means […]

Can't say I have, sir. Shall have a look.

Murphy has finally got a consistent line on #MMT

Kirsty has the qualifications to be a nurse. Newcastle has empty lecture halls and hospitals that need staff. HM Treasury capped funded training places at 180, then cut it to 165. She was locked out not by ability but by a political choice dressed up as financial constraint. Read her story.

Social media is full of claims like 'the government's running out of money' and 'we need to balance the budget'. Sound familiar. The Social Media Critique tool teaches you to spot the misinformation moves; and land the MMT reframe that wins the argument.

(1/5) The UK Green Party has just passed a motion replacing fixed fiscal targets with a functional framework: fiscal space is real resources, not arbitrary debt limits. That's MMT in practice.

Bond yields are soaring because central banks raise rates, not because debt is too high. Austerity will deepen shortfalls. Why is the currency issuer letting interest costs spike instead of anchoring rates?

You see "we can't afford it" on every thread. The claim looks obvious, but underneath it sits a bankrupt frame. Social Media Critique teaches you the five misinformation moves that lock it in place; and how to break it. Spot the trap, win the argument.

Governments don't tax first and spend second. They have to spend first. How else would anyone have the money to pay the tax?

Tariffs aren't about affordability. The US government funds via currency creation. The choice is whether it taxes the rich or inflates prices on workers. That's what's being masked.

Spend more than £1bn to "help" frames public provision as a budget constraint. Real question: why isn't energy publicly provided or subsidised at source? A currency issuer doesn't ration help. It builds capacity.

"The tools exist. The choice is political."
This essay explores why combining MMT with Doughnut Economics may provide one of the most complete frameworks yet for social justice and ecological resilience.

If a currency-issuing government can always fund the social foundation, why do poverty and ecological collapse persist?
This essay argues they're not economic necessities. They're political choices.

We need our politicians to watch this now so they can stop the harm that their neoliberal ideology is doing to most of us.

Per #mmt every last cent that Elon Musk has expropriated and captured is new money. The people in these communities are impoverished because the great money generating machine of the central government neglects them. And the absolute shit licking cherry on top is they are given the task of […]
