This is a lot harder than it sounds. And I dont look at Moore as primarily a truth seeker.<br /><br />Where are the truth seekers who have a lot of USD balances that they could put into an MMT documentary????<br /><br />Resp,Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-72585957700520368722012-03-23T10:05:46.178-04:002012-03-23T10:05:46.178-04:00Treasuries pretty strong again this AM....

Look at all the funds that would have been saved that can go to investment instead of "crowding out" investment, as they erroneously think. Even a bunch of fools link them should love this. Of course, being the fools they are, they would scream that this is inflationary.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-29437233537692225072012-03-22T23:09:53.171-04:002012-03-22T23:09:53.171-04:00Tom, I've been digging into the publications a...Tom, I've been digging into the publications at the Congressional budget office. This a-political organization peppers their reports to congress with statements like this, "Higher debt tends to imply lower output and income in the long run than does lower debt, because increased government borrowing generally draws money away from, or "crowds out," private investment in productive capital. As a result, the debt that would occur under the paths specified by the Chairman and his staff would lead to higher national income over the long term than would occur with the higher amounts of debt under the other two scenarios." -- From <a href="http://www.cbo.gov/publication/43023" rel="nofollow">Report to Chairman Ryan</a><br /><br />These economists need to be held to account. They have extreme power over congress and are deluded at best... their views are radical.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-72647838953386596472012-03-22T22:53:11.764-04:002012-03-22T22:53:11.764-04:00Ryan, Warren proposes setting the overnight rate t...Ryan, Warren proposes setting the overnight rate to zero and issuing 3 mo. max T-bills.<br /><br />I have proposed also continuing to issue E-type savings bonds for the public as it already done.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-24133062535633714132012-03-22T21:52:50.356-04:002012-03-22T21:52:50.356-04:00Treasuries have to be bought and sold, and frequen...Treasuries have to be bought and sold, and frequently, because they sure aren't worth holding onto for income. You can make more than 3 1/2% in a week on price fluctuations -- more than they pay in interest in a whole year. Why does the government even issue these long dated bonds? Completely pointless IMO when the fed sets short term rates. Why not just issue short term debt.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.com
