@realprogressives.bsky.socialThe National Debt is a Trick To Make The Rich RICHER & Keep YOU Poor! ft. @Steven D Grumbine on The Jimmy Dore Show. Check it out on Rumble. #learnMMT #NationalDebt #ClassWar
@toak.bsky.socialOk, so we should seize Trump Ill-begotten gains, but “to pay down the National Debt” is absurd because a currency issuing govt REQUIRES being in “deficit” as that’s simply $$ invested in our country. The Fed govt is not a household. I beg you.. #LearnMMT
@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.socialYeah but the UK doedn't need to borrow any money. It. can create as much as it needs.

@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.social#Neoliberal BS. None of this needs to be funded through taxes. Green transition can be funded by the government. #LearnMMT!
"£ Billions worth of green levies could be taken off bills, the energy secretary has said, as the government investigates funding green infrastructure through taxes instead"
@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.socialTypical modern journalism'. The money can come from the government. No need to borrow. I'm tired of this shit 😫
@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.socialThe needs to be read and shared:
A sovereign government with its own currency can create as much money as it needs. Taxes DO NOT PAY for government spending. Governments SPEND THEN TAX. Taxes simply cancel out the money spent.
There is PLENTY of money!
@magsd72.bsky.socialIt SHOULD have happened over 10 years ago. It will no doubt be too little, too late & #LearnMMT
@duncanpoundcake.bsky.social@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.socialWill he be taxing the super rich? 🤔
Ps. taxes don't pay for government spending - #LearnMMT

@ht4ecosocialism.bsky.socialListened to a bit of #AnyAnswers on R4. It’s clear that millions of people still believe “there’s no money” bollox being spouted constantly by governments and the media. There is plenty of money.
@realprogressives.bsky.social"Stephanie Kelton points out that there have been just seven periods since 1776 when the US federal government achieved fiscal balance or ran surpluses.
Six of those periods were associated with or followed by depressions."

@barrysteeleau.bsky.socialThis is what devotion to the failed Neoclassical Economics and Neoliberalism generally
Somehow we're expected to believe that purposefully putting more little into involuntary unemployment will cut the price of Oil and end Corporate Gouging

@realprogressives.bsky.socialThe 2008 crash wasn't a surprise to everyone. It was predicted by people using accounting identities instead of fairy tales about market equilibrium. #LearnMMT #MacroNCheese
