This is the economics that @abcnews refuses to acknowledge but evidence confirms
Or Federal Government need your tax to fund spending
They never spend taxpayers money, ever.
#MMTLens
@abcnews Does he discuss these 2 root causes at all?
We are living in a failed economic paradigm based on flaky assumptions
The combination of neoclassical economics and neoliberalism has done this.
Drop the false #DefictMyth
#LearnMMT
#MMTLens is neither right or left wing, just fact
@nevin_simon I'll take a gander at this trick question:
From an #MMTlens, answer is no.
Inflation does not take "destroy/burn/delete" money out of circulation in the private sector.
(hope Bill Mitchell isnot reading this, am a relatively dunce student :)
3/6 'Fixing the Debt Without Breaking America' and 'Who Needs Balanced Trade? Who Needs a Balanced Budget?' by @joefirestonephd are excellent books for those looking for more advanced reading on the intersection between politics and economics. 🤓 #MMTLens
2/6 For beginners, 'The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy' by @StephanieKelton and 'Seven Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy' by @wbmosler are great entry points into understanding MMT. 📚 #MMTLens
1/6 Have you heard of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)? It's a transformative economic framework that challenges many traditional economic ideas. If you're interested in learning more, here are some great books to check out! #MMTLens
Societal breakdown is the result of the deliberate failure by the government to enact the policies that would keep its citizens safe and secure in a functioning, fair economy and ensure that in hard times it acts to cushion the blows caused by events out of its control.

And the day has started w an encouraging text. “Pink Lady”= Leni Robredo (Philippine presidential candidate) supporter.
Still sharing the #MMTlens here. You’re welcome :)
@ab4justice Sergey Glazyev apparently familiar with #MMTlens and understands that Russia is now much more self-sufficient in resources, and has not lost the extremely high level professionalism and delivery in education.
Putin will have to ditch the Western influenced neoliberal monetarists

@The_NewLiberals @cpschmidt29 South Australians fyi
Opportunity to ask questions of a political party that views the economy thru the #MMT lens and offers a Federal Job Guarantee for upcoming Oz Fed election…

@alissiman @roseannebyrne @Boeufblogginon Health and social security should never be a "market" we are dealing with people's lives.
They should be unalienable rights.
And a week look the #MMTLens provides a alternative where we attack the deficits in Health, Care and improve the economy for all.
Addressing Inequality in Australia is urgent.
We've traveled Hayek's detour to serfdom.
Hayek was wrong.
Neoliberal ideology fails the population.
We need a new approach.
Neoclassical economics is false.
#MMTLens
Tragic & avoidable. People on lower incomes have died of #covid19aus at four times the rate of higher income individuals. Releasing locations data will save lives! https://t.co/lSOpfUGzSD @LucyCormack
@Moonlightsiesta @cpschmidt29 @NarstyWoman @ipmaster @victorklineTNL #TNL differs from most other "progressive" parties in our rejection of neoliberalism and to austerity economics.
We use the #MMTLens as the bedrock of economic policy.
We will build a balanced economy, not a balanced budget.
We'll address Real Deficits

@OzMyHomeMAC @StevenHailAus @AdamBandt I was impressed enough to join the party and put my hand up to run.
I'm hoping the good folks in the MMT Community keep me in line and guide me where necessary.
We're only running against sitting LNP members and I do see the Greens as close allies, but the gap is the #MMTLens
@VickiPlatt5 @AlanBixter @YMangostein We're not.
We accept the #MMTLens when looking at economic policy. We're deficit Owls, not deficit Hawks or Doves.
We want to address real deficits like unemployment, health, education, infrastructure, aged care etc.
To restore humanity in policy
Budgets are a means to an end.
Oh come on
Now we're not even going to bother training tradies?

@GeoffLeeMP So a journalist tells you Coffs Harbour apprentices are leaving home at 3;30am to get to TAFE class in Newcastle ... and your response is “that is definitely a challenge”?
YOU caused this mess, Minister. YOU cut this course. https://t.co/icDgNpxckl
This allows another #RealDeficit ignored by @ScottMorrisonMP
We have a massive #SkillsDeficit due to 40yrs of failed Neoliberal Education policy.
We need to teach our own.
Just fund education
#MMTLens
There are no TAFE bricklaying or tiling courses between Newcastle and the QLD border.
The LNP aren’t addressing the Skills crisis. They are causing it. #RebuildWithTAFE
@BenPhillips_ANU None of the above. But a #JobGuarantee with a #LivableWage addressing real deficits not budgetary ones would work.
We have a fiat currency, the government can't ever run out of AUD, it creates them from nothing.
Tax never funds federal government spending, ever. It can't
#MMTLens
How good is government sponsored corruption @ScottMorrisonMP ?
We need to reverse the disastrous history of outsourcing and #MatesRates policies of failed Neoliberalism.
We need bigger government. We need career public servants.
We need an #MMTLens
#FederalICAC
The big four consulting firms – PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young donated $208,869 - to Coalition in the 19/20 FY. They booked around $600,000,000 in federal Government contracts over the same period. Good return on investment. #auspol
