ARCHIVE: Older threads I& #39;ve written that are at least tangentially related to #MMT and economics. Please consider this particular thread more an archive than solid information.
Canceling debt (student, medical, etc.).
"How are you going to pay for it?"
[Being economically accurate without having to #LearnMMT - thread]]
How does telling people that they *don& #39;t* have to make future payments really "cost" anything? https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1167799315345170432">https://twitter.com/citizensm...

The GND is not a secret plan to sneak through all things progressive. It is all critical if we want to survive as a species, with even a modicum of the privilege we currency have. https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1165242998248136704">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
How do you define "value"? https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1084543871470706689">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
This is neoliberalism. (This thread also contains evidence that unemployment is official American policy.) https://twitter.com/ActivistMMT/status/1183006383563837440">https://twitter.com/ActivistM...
My current (and needs to be updated) view of the debate between the #MMT designed Federal Job Guarantee (FJG) and a Universal Basic Income (UBI). https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1158403262430797824">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
How MMT demonstrates that we can indeed afford a bold Green New Deal. It doesn’t just “cost a lot,” it creates massive amounts of value along the way. https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1170374184192610306?s=21">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
An executive who works for a company that profits from the for-profit health insurance industry tries to gaslight a father whose son committed suicide 2wks after the son’s insurance co postponed his depression meds by a month for missing a **$20** payment. https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1168518555786194950?s=20">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
#MedicareForAll will cost citizens much, much less compared to our current corrupt, for-profit healthcare system – financially and otherwise. https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1173211274555138048?s=21">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
“Cannot run out of money” versus “should and can safely spend as much money as they want, without consequence.” https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1173295182084747264?s=20">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
We can financially afford #MedicareForAll because it prevents us from having to deal with – and pay for – the consequences of *not* having Medicare For All. https://twitter.com/citizensmediatv/status/1174802689944903680?s=20">https://twitter.com/citizensm...
#MMT says that monetarily sovereign governments *do* create money to spend and *therefore* should use that power for public purpose – specifically, until full employment is reached. The ordering of this logic is critical. https://twitter.com/MMTResources/status/1188966866514935808">https://twitter.com/MMTResour...
You and I are limited by money. The federal government (of economies such as the United States, U.K., Canada, Australia, and Japan) is limited by resources. https://twitter.com/MMTResources/status/1189265317056450561?s=20">https://twitter.com/MMTResour...
When it comes to federal programs, only resources matter, not money. To even say "our fed gov& #39;t has plenty of money to give people healthcare," isn& #39;t just nonsensical, it is specifically designed to sabotage our efforts to actually get it. Ever. https://twitter.com/MMTResources/status/1189008845563219968">https://twitter.com/MMTResour...
To #LearnMMT in general, here is a good place to start. https://twitter.com/MMTResources/status/1188935401827901440">https://twitter.com/MMTResour...
