An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
The Republicans are probably the only ones that could get this passed. They would never go for a Democratic plan that would "expand the government." There would probably be enough Dems that would support the bill, offseting the recalcitrant Republicans afraid of the ire of the base. Could work.
Won't work, can't work. While the number of federal employees has remained the SAME for the past 50 years, the federal government has massively ballooned if you include just one group in the tally: private contractors. Bottom line: INSTEAD of a convoluted "JG" program, they're going to continue to be shoveling tons more money out the door to federal contractors. Only meaning the federal government will get considerably more "costly" and WAY more dysfunctional.
