Agree with all you say.

Guess you also know about fed govts' currency-issuing power?

How Roosevelt used it to fund the New Deal, & UK, the welfare state. And how right now, it could fund:

* a #GreenNewDeal with #JobGuarantee & #LiveableWelfare

* free public transport, health & education

* sufficient public housing etc?

But, as you say, feds don't want to fund public goods. Poverty is govt policy.

WANT A GREEN NEW DEAL?

In the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt told American unions to MAKE him fund the New Deal.

Today's unions could make their govts fund:

*a #GreenNewDeal with #JobGuarantee & #LiveableWelfare

*free public transport, health & education

*sufficient public housing etc.

So why aren't they?
