Our media is filled with disinformation on monetary policy. Yesterday, I was fortunate to meet with economists who’ve opened my eyes to MMT. Tldr:federal government can pay for anything it deems a priority because it has power to coin money. 1/5

Many claim there isn’t money for programs like Single-Payer Medicare For All, cancelling student and medical debt, Green New Deal, a jobs guarantee, or abolishing homelessness, but they are CHOOSING to prioritize status quo. (2/5)

Yes, we must tax billionaires and corporations because they have undue influence in society and it controls for inflation. (3/5)

Let’s CHOOSE to no longer live within the constraints placed on us by neoliberal economists and politicians who are in the pockets of those who benefit from the status quo. (4/5)

Let's IMPLEMENT Green New Deal, Federal Jobs Guarantee, Single-Payer Medicare For All, and cancellation of student and medical debts IMMEDIATELY. What do you have to lose, reps? Ohh that’s right, your corporate PAC and CEO donors. 5/5

This is pretty much how they fund defense. They don’t actually make sure they have the money first. They just decide how much they want to spend and find the money later. If they can’t find it, they just pull it off their money tree that sits in the garden of the Treasury.
