You don't need a universal healthcare expert but an #economics expert. The problem is the "How are you going to pay for it?" framing. Congress never considers pay-go wrt defense spending. The idea that federal budgets should be balanced & debt needs to be paid off is flawed. See #MMT (modern money theory).I won't link to X but on 3/14/26 MMT founder Warren Mosler replied to Ro Khanna:
Medicare for all is
HIGHLY DEFLATIONARY! [x3]YOU DON'T RAISE TAXES WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!!

Wieso spricht #dirkehnts in #geldundkredit im 9. Kapitel ständig von „Ersparnis“? – Vielleicht überlas ich etwas. Aber eine „Ersparnis“ ist IMHO bilanziell inexistent. Wenn der öffentliche Sektor „erspart“, bringt er kein Geld unter die Leute. Wenn der private Sektor „erspart“, bleibt das BIP unverändert. Wenn der Außenhandel „erspart“, bleibt die Außenhandelsbilanz unverändert. Was übersehe ich? #mmt

"Spending creates the money. Taxation removes some of it again. This single reversal, spending before taxation rather than taxation before spending, changes the whole basis on which we should think about public finance."

”Government #spending is unsustainable!”
”Our models show exponential increase of interest payments and government bankcruptcy in 20 years!”Yeah, but your models are wrong.
They’re are taught in every economic textbook, but are still wrong.
They’re taught in Econ 101, because that serves the very powerful.
With these models, they can always blame the government when something goes wrong.
With these models, the answer to every financial crisis is #austerity

@facebita das ist eine interessante Lesart der #mmt. Wenn es um wertfreie Beschreibung der Funktionsweise moderner Fiatgeldsysteme geht, dann ist dieses Wissen nicht exklusiv für freiheitlich organisierte Staatswesen reserviert. Vielleicht behindert dieser normative Filter sogar eine klare Analyse. Isabella Weber stellt heraus, dass China sich vom Kommunismus zu einem Staatskapitalismus hin entwickelt hat... mit deutlich spürbaren globalen Folgen.
-
@heinrichsgeist Nope. Die kommunistischen Rotchinesen haben ganz gewiss nichts von #mmt verstanden. Weil: #mmt ist eine Theorie für eine wertfreie Infrastruktur für individuell agierende Akteure. #mmt steuert so viel Geld in die Gesellschaft ein, wie die Unternehmer in der Gesellschaft in Wertschöpfung umsetzen können. Die Rotchinesen bestimmen hingegen, wer Unternehmer sein darf und wie viel ein Unternehmer wertschöpfen darf. Diametral konträr zu #freiheit
-
@facebita Ein Löwenanteil dürfte für Waffen draufgehen. Wenn jemand #mmt verstanden hat, dann ist es eher China: Strategisch planen, schauen was geht (nicht wie hierzulande schauen was nicht geht), die Ausgestaltung Privatunternehmen überlassen...
Der China Schrott wird von Jahr zu Jahr weniger schrottig, das sollte uns zu denken geben. -
Gerüchteweise sieht der Entwurf für den #bundeshaushalt eine Kreditaufnahme von 203 Mrd. Euro vor. Gut so! Klingt fast so, als hätte da jemand #mmt verstanden. Hoffentlich fließt das Geld ins Inland und nicht an Konsumenten, die Schrott aus #Rotchina kaufen. Oder besser noch: Die Politik™ sorgt dafür, dass europäische Produzenten nicht von chinesisch staatssubventionierten Vasallen konkurrenziert werden. Faire #esg Zölle wären eine probate Maßnahme.

He's on a spiral. I wish it was different. As one of the leading names in heterodox economics, he has some responsibility for its reputation.
