This is Marc Goldwein. He gets paid to be wrong about debt and deficits.

He would like us MMTers to go away. Guess what? We’re not going away!

Here’s Marc’s email address: [email protected]. Send Marc a polite message demanding that he engage our arguments in good faith! #MMT

Modern Monetary Theory advocates claim #Governments can run unlimited fiscal deficits as long as they borrow in their own currencies and #Inflation stays in check. False. #MMT is nothing more than an a rubbish excuse used to justify higher govt spending.

Here is a hit piece to respond to if you are a WSJ subscriber.

[Steve Hanke @steve_hanke]

My latest @WSJ is co-authored with my good friend John Greenwood. Modern Monetary Theory is rubbish—nothing more than a recipe for huge deficits and greater government spending. Beware of those peddling #MMT snake oil.

As the campaign in the 2020 presidential race heats up, so do the promises.

Many of the promises being thrown around could prove quite expensive to implement.

The implications for the economy should be obvious. https://t.co/QzNQVPVRbP

Progressives believe they have found a way around the laws of economics. This isn’t economics. It’s magic dressed up in techno-jargon.
