Summary
A resolution recognizing the duty of the Senate to condemn Modern Monetary Theory and recognizing Modern Monetary Theory would lead to higher deficits and higher inflation.
Wow. 4 Senators for this. Somebody should tell them it was May Day, not April Fool's Day.
ReplyDeleteThe Congress is trying to defend its title as the world's nuttiest legislature.
What will they do next, round up accountants for witchcraft?
But this kind of thing is the strongest recognition yet of the power and threat of MMT. The US right wing usually indicates the path to follow better than the left does.
The owner class is scared to death, they know they done fucked up and they don't want to deal with that.
