Where will the UK government ‘find the money’ with the £22 billion 'black hole'?
Hint: for a currency issuing govt like the UK, ‘finding the money’ is never the problem…

Tax the Rich because they're taking more than their fair share of resources & power, not because we need their money to feed a hungry kid.

Ironically, one way to distinguish MMT from “vanilla Keynesianism” relates directly to the Q posed to Jared: why does the US government borrow its own currency?
MMTers know that it doesn’t borrow, and that the national debt is the nation’s money supply.
Pretty big distinction.
How many people understand this?
When the government sells bonds, it’s not going deeper into debt. It’s changing the *composition* of federal obligations—fewer Fed liabilities and more Treasury liabilities.
When it comes to a Green New Deal people ask: “How will you pay for it?”
As though we're not paying for it now in loss of life & billions of dollars in destruction.
The Green New Deal isn't radical.
Transforming our energy system saves lives, saves money & saves the planet.
The 'national debt' is already 'the money'. Gov does not create new money to "repay" the debt.
"A small group of progressive economists ...or M.M.T... argue that the Treasury can simply print enough money to repay the debt." - @DLeonhardt, @NYTimes
Regarding interest payments on the debt: Congress could decide tomorrow to stop issuing treasury bonds, not pay the interest (as a regressive give-away of FREE MONEY to those who already have money), and not have this thing we call the 'national debt'.

Can we afford not to go extinct?
@NYTimes decides to focus on the 'national debt' today, in the midst of horrific #climate destruction
