*MMT experts looking at my last thread*
(Look, let's not make this any more complex than it has to be; I know what you're thinking, you know what I'm saying, and as long as these maggots insist on pretending we fund a government the way we budget for groceries, facts on the ground basically work the way I described them. You're not wrong, I'm just not teaching an entry level college course out here 500 characters at a time.)

1. Gif of Nathan Fillion playing Mal Reynolds in the sci-fi TV series Firefly. Reynolds lifts his hand and opens his mouth as if to object to something being said, then decides better of it and simply rests his hand on his chin looking perplexed.

    Stephanie Kelton: The big myth of government deficits
    
    from Stephanie Kelton
    
    Government deficits have gotten a bad rap, says economist Stephanie Kelton. In this groundbreaking talk, she makes the case to stop looking at government spending as a path towards frightening piles of debt, but rather as a financial contribution to the things that matter -- like health care, education, infrastructure and beyond. "We have the resources we need to begin repairing our broken systems," Kelton says. "But we have to believe it's possible."
