@drustevenson I look forward to reading this. For some context, a federal #JobGuarantee aka #FJG is central tenet of #MMT. See https://pavlina-tcherneva.net/

RT @fadhelkaboub@twitter.com
#MMT economists have been saying for decades that a #JobGuarantee is an automatic stabilizer. When the private sector is laying off millions of workers, the Federal government must step in as the employer of last resort.

All I did was expand the definition of “work”. Apparently, we are not the someones up on the literature.
I love how I have to be informed I'm muted. That says more about RJ than me. I just mute people when they “don’t get it” or they continue to make “weak” or “nonsense arguments”
If anyone wants to hear the case against a JG being a benefit payment, let me know. Cheers #mmt
