You're not gonna talk the rich out of their power. Our monetary system is based on power and control. Mice telling the cat "let's talk about this".

“Elastic currency” would be a better explainer for the uninitiated. Because we possess the ability to expand and contract the money supply at will to both control inflation and finance essential projects where necessary. The term “fiat currency” doesn’t paint the same picture and understanding in people‘s minds.

It hurts that my degree can be summed up in a TikTok of a comedy show.

It’s not about money, it’s about controlling the money and in turn, your capacity for survival

MMT - you can spend as much as you want, as long as you tax enough to fund spending, otherwise you get inflation

I’m having difficulty wrapping my head around a lot of this, but do they address the corporate greed and low wages, healthcare, what’s happening to younger generations that cannot purchase homes?

Does MMT mean spending way beyond your income, not worrying about the future? Because that’s what our government is doing.

Exactly, We own the US monetary system so who do we pay this imaginary interest to??? When we can just print more money then claim it has some kind of value hence “IN GOD WE TRUST”

Modern money is not money, it's currency, fiat currency with no intrinsic value, created out of thin air. One of the biggest scams ever sold to the world.

There is no conversation to be had when the government can write checks for any amount for any reason and We The People have to pay it back

I like MMT and think it’s a valuable conversation to have but I often find that it fails to consider the complexity of our financial system. Unraveling our current infrastructure is the challlenge.
