He calls himself "Deficit Ranger." Oh brother.
@mikenorman - Your clip is a gross misrepresentation of my interview via selective editing. My comment was on current not L/T solvency. DW
— Dave Walker (@DeficitRanger) December 29, 2013Says I "misrepresented" him and he was referring to the "long-term" deficit. So, we're going to run out of dollars in the long term, David?
Hi ho Silver!!!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad he is not a "Lone" Ranger though....
Mike, take a less confrontational attitude. The guy apparently doesn't understand fiat money properly. Remember MMT can be difficult for people to grasp when they've been fed the orthodox line their whole life. Also if they are conservative they will be more drawn to the orthodox line and suspicious of alternative views. Just telling them over and over that the govt "can't run out of dollars" won't work in itself. You'll just get the usual replies.
ReplyDeleteI recently watched a few older (2010 ...) CNBC videos of Walker talking about the debt deficit ills.
ReplyDeleteHe was so very wrong then as he is now, that I think Mike was absolutely correct.
DW is nothing more than a mindless neo-liberal ideologue with access to a green room.
He's a lapdog for Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of George Carlin, now they're coming after our Social Security money: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nyx-z5cods
