Yes, yes, yes you’re correct that the republicans are on the wrong side of this crisis. So why not resolve the deepest reason why we keep hitting our heads against the same wall over the budget. in other words you guessed it THE MONOPOLISTIC MONETARY PARADIGM FOR THE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ALL NEW MONEY WHICH IS THE CONCEPT OF DEBT ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMT is all well and good especially when it advocates for a job guarantee. Why? BECAUSE A JOB GUARANTEE IS A MONETARY GIFT! Just follow through with that concept and the very good MMT insight that all new money is created with equal debits and credits that sum to zero AKA double entry bookkeeping with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the point of retail sale and voila! with that gift that saved everyone half the costs of participating in the economy you just implemented a paradigm change of equivalent progress of discovering self awareness hence ethics, the control of fire, The Reformation and The Enlightenment all wrapped up in a single policy! (And of course the remaining policies of the new APPLIED paradigm concept of Strategic Monetary Gifting stabilize and protect the implementation of this mega paradigm change).
