@katiecouric@AndrewYang Have you considered UBI w/o a VAT as a source of funding, and do you think a FJG may still be necessary to reach full employment even if UBI is implemented?
@GaryinCHSv2@JoeCunninghamSC@FixtheDebt In the MMT world, tax code adjustments arenβt based on a need to pay for social programs, but more to keep the economy from overheating and to close the wealth gap.
@GaryinCHSv2@JoeCunninghamSC@FixtheDebt Are you sure your duck isnβt made of straw? As MMT states, federal taxes arenβt used for social services, but rather to prevent potential inflation. A candidates tax policy may not give you any insight into whether or not they view macro-economics through an MMT lens.
@GaryinCHSv2@JoeCunninghamSC@FixtheDebt I respect that Joe has a tightrope to walk. Was meant as a friendly prod. Thereβs nothing socialist about understanding the mechanics of monetary policy and I doubt merely abstaining from deficit hawk language would brand him as such. Also, Kamalaβs $2K is not an MMT proposal.
