Thank you for all you do. Looking forward to seeing sunflowers everywhere this summer! As for the $4.5 trillion added to the national debt by the Big Ugly Bill, PLEASE add “The Deficit Myth” by Stephanie Kelton, Ph.D., to your summer reading list. This book demonstrates that the “national debt” is not a debt like household debt, because the Federal government is the currency issuer. The rest of us (states, companies, households) are currency users. For far too long, we’ve been told we can’t afford nice things like Medicare for All because of the national debt. This book makes clear that we CAN “afford” these things, and the reason we don’t have them is a policy choice. Let’s work together to get educated about how our money system actually works!
Perfect! That is an important distinction, and it is a bit the way that Zohran Mamdani framed his campaign, "we can all have nice things" . We very much appreciate your insights and thank you for reading! Onward in this resistance! Today was a tough one!
