There’s nothing like a change in the monetary paradigm to dispel all of the failure to rationally act in the face of converging crises. Why? Because money is what enables actions in the temporal universe, and if you created a policy like the one in my book that would require a sliding scale percentage of GIFTED money to be invested in eco-energy R & D and infrastructure bonds at like 6-7%…just how much rational action toward resolving the climate crisis might that create???

PO: DOGE dividends would have to pass the House and Senate – and the Senate’s filibuster – before Trump can send out more checks with his name on them. The DOGE dividends would have to be shoved into the pending tax cut reconciliation bill and the tax cuts for the rich would have to be reduced to keep the bill “revenue neutral.” Ain’t no way rich folks’ tax cuts will be reduced to send checks to working people.

Me: Yes, monetary gifting is the answer to economic problems. Always has been. The trick we need to learn is how do we gift EVERYONE, especially in a way that ends the biggest bitch everyone is complaining about? Why retail sale of course because EVERYONE continually participates in/is effected by the price at retail sale…and using MMT’s correct claim that our money is created by equal debits and credits at that point, …would change that excellent insight into a mega-paradigm change. Whatta you think Stephanie? Do you want to be a part of a good insight or a mega-paradigm change?
