An MMT-informed economist can explain the fine details of this and all the arcane formulae and speciaized knowledge required to truly *understand* it, but that's not me. My job is to understand enough of this stuff to be satisfied it's legit, and translate the basics to laypeople
You may, but do not need to, truly understand the fine details. What you need to understand is that about 70% of the political rhetoric around economic policy is *absolute bullshit* based on obsolete lies, and you have to un-learn them to truly wield your power as a citizen.
