Today my friend Jodi Archambault, a member of the Hunkpapa and Oglala Lakota tribes, joins me to share her experiences as an activist, government official, and someone who lives within many cultures. What can we learn from cultures different than our own? thegreatsimplification.com/e…

There is no such thing as "paying off the debt" when referring to the U.S. "debt." The "debt" ($32T) is just untaxed dollars held by the non-gov't. Paying it back would mean confiscating it...literally taking it all away. Ridiculous.

Suzie Boniface @DailyMirror @BBCNews #BBCPapers telling the truth about govt finance. "If you run the country and go the the Bank of England and say 'I want some more money', the bank is compelled by law to give you the money, and guess what, you don't have to pay it back again"

We are going to react to inflation driven by war, climate and pandemic by raising interest rates over and over again in the hope we can create enough unemployment and financial distress to stop poor people using energy or eating so much. Slow motion car crash economics.

The political game of the debt ceiling is 🤢
Thankfully, #MMT economists have exposed the ruse by politicians about the entire deficit/debt ceiling discussion. The government is not a household.

Here's the full interview. It's a master class in how to handle questions--from voters or the press--about debt, deficits, and government spending.

"Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said he didn’t expect the recent fall in bond yields although he maintained his view that the economy is overheating."
The recent development of bond yields can be explained. Here is my take [thread]:

Interesting to see once again how raising the interest rate to fight inflation seems instead to sustain its rise. #MMT has always acknowledged this. Here is 🇧🇷:
The Brazilian central bank has been extremely hawkish on inflation this year, raising rates aggressively to cool price increases.
And yet inflation just keeps going up.
Maybe a lesson in that...

Over the last few months, I've learned a thing or two from the young people in our country. I figured I would return the favor by sharing with you how to make a plan to vote in this upcoming election.
