Doesn't #MMT #ModernMonetaryTheory suggest that since the federal government has unique money printing powers, we'd be better off if the federal government provided good funding for K-12 throughout the country? cc @SenWarren @AyannaPressley @StephanieKelton @Bill_Cimbrelo

The school programs are so antiquated. In this age of technology, there needs to be courses to prepare our children for the real world.
