The debt ceiling is a relic that no longer serves a purpose in guiding our economic policies. It's time to remove it and put the needs of all Americans first. #MMT #DebtCeilingRemoval
Refusing to raise the debt ceiling will only lead to chaos and economic turmoil. As per MMT, our government can never run out of money it issues its own currency. Let's remove this outdated constraint and invest in vital public services. #RemoveDebtCeiling #MMT
Removing the debt ceiling will allow us to allocate resources based on human needs rather than being held hostage to arbitrary financial metrics or political folly. It's time to take a more pragmatic and responsible approach to investing in our future. #MMT #PublicServices

Looking forward to hearing about the pressures on #PublicServices after the #Coronavirus pandemic & what the Chancellor could do in the #SpendingReview to help to address them #IfGLive
First, @JeffreyMatsu gives an introduction to the Performance Tracker, and why it is important to share this data to help provide a snapshot of the state of public services & improve financial literacy across Government #IfGLive
Matsu argues that this can help to deliver on the #LevellingUp agenda as policymakers are able to make more informed decision & demonstrate the value of their decisions #IfGLive

#OpportunityCost is the aggregate net cost of doing something, vis a vis 'not doing it' at all.

The initial project, option & prospect of #Brexit came with huge opportunity costs, which were too easily pre-discounted as #ProjectFear. 1/
The initial #Leave case, dramatised by the #BorisBus, contended that UK could save its ÂŁ350m pw #EU 'gross membership contribution' and pass that 'saving' straight to the #NHS - as 'additional funding'. 2/
The #Leave case focused on saving UK's #EU gross membership cost in favour of #NHS.

It ignored regular #EU annual contributions back into a multiplicity of UK projects, which would obviously be stopped, if we ceased membership.

#Brexit ALREADY costs UK ÂŁ1bn pw as we Hit Holidays! @GoldmanSachs put that lower at ÂŁ600m. but I'm looking at 2+% less GDP (than would have been); more Govt Debt (+interest); the growing impact of #Brexodus on jobs/taxtake; ÂŁdevaln.&inflation creep, reducing Property values.1/20
@GoldmanSachs Am puzzled & mortified? that UK's so-called Major Political Parties @Conservatives @UKLabour seem umbilically disconnected? from the financial IMPACT of their recent (let's say) 'accidental collusions' and Brexit-Birth-Giving! Why the co-incidental & costly numeracy lapse? 2/20
@GoldmanSachs @Conservatives @UKLabour Assuming that (eg) @bankofengland @hmtreasury @ICAEW @The_IoD @cbicarolyn @FrancesOGrady are aware of UK's #Brexit financial haemorrhage? eg Govt Debt, Jobs/Tax, Businesses (all sizes), Individuals - there may be varying estimates? but agreement that a HUGE hit is ongoing! 3/20
