Sadly all programs cost money & #MMT precisely describes the system we have today. It 10000% answers the question of "how do you pay for it" and when spoken truthfully allows both republicans, democrats and indies to redraw their battle lines and win large groups of supporters.
People are turned off to have to change what they say and the wars they wage. They hate finding out they were 100% wrong on the debt. 100% wrong on deficits. 10000% stunted in terms of the bold reforms we know we can afford.
#MMT is the truth that shatters much of the battles we face because most people have been conned into believing social security is broke. That we cannot afford a National Healthcare System and that we cannot guarantee a job for every person that wants one...
federally funded & locally administered. That we could afford huge $ for investments in fed $ research & development towards everything from cures for cancer to battery cells that can store a green energy charge. I'd say that is pretty spot on. To ignore this is to ignore reality
