Call It “National Money” Not “National Debt”

The "National Debt" measures the currency spent into the economy without being taxed out.
Money is just IOUs. Money is debt.
I found the right word. It should be called the "National Money."

The tragedy - Labour agree with Sunak/Hunt.
#MMT
Governments with a sovereign currency & central bank CREATE new money by spending it & promote growth by so doing. REAL growth, not meaningless GDP growth. They can use targeted taxation to restrict inflation & reign in accelerating inequality. #Starmer/#Sunak & #Reeves/#Hunt KNOW this, but they'd rather we DIDN'T.

If people understood what MMT says, they'd understand that the world doesn't need the wealthiest to be the guardians of what gets investment - and collecting the return on that investment.

I add this to climate change and to economy because the two are intimately tied. The discussion is also relevant to the war in Ukraine wrt to Russia’s ability to fund itself.

The Senate is debating an $886,000,000,000 defense budget. Here's why I intend to vote against it.

I want to point out they’ve clapped on 86 billion more than last year.
The military didn’t even want $800 billion
