It is literally impossible for a Money Sovereign such as the UK to run out of money. To claim otherwise is to promulgate myths, lies and deceit. @MMTpodcast @GowerInitiative @prueplum youtu.be/IHxloLkMXeU?si=zfj1…

Or they could just stop the bond issuance nonsense altogether
Euthanise the Bond Market: Why It's Time to End the Reign of the Money Changers “The bond market, far from being an essential institution, is a parasitic appendage—one that has outlived whatever utility it might once have had.” new-wayland.com/blog/euthani… #article

Gary, the markets are not in charge. The currency issuing govt doesn’t borrow£, it issues the currency by spending it into existence. Markets need bonds, govt doesn’t need markets. Please learn how the money system really works. You do a lot of damage spreading false information

And I’m offering an online course as well. The marketing might be a bit irritating but the course is well received by its current students. book.stevekeenfree.com

There are alternatives to neoclassical economics and I strongly urge students to look at these. Here are three options: UMKC (🇺🇸/Kansas City): shss.umkc.edu/areas-of-study… Bard College (🇺🇸/upstate NY): economics.bard.edu/ Torrens University (🇦🇺/online) torrens.edu.au/studying-with…

MMTers just facepalm. The total amount of economic bullshit in thread - People just don't know how it works. We never needed QE in the first place.
My proposed legislation on banning Quantitative Easing without the express consent of MPs has progressed to the next stage of Parliament. There is a magic Government money tree, it's called QE and it makes all of us poorer. We must slash it down. It is a debate we need to have.

Keir Starmer plans to increase private sector involvement in the NHS by 20%, and up government funding to for-profit health companies by £2.5 billion. This is shocking news from any party - let alone from the Labour Party who are the founders of our NHS. This is a milestone which we cannot ignore. The need for a renewed campaign for a publicly funded, provided and accountable NHS is clear. For more information about our campaigns and to get involved, go to keepournhspublic.com

I said a few days ago that when Streeting's NHS plan comes to the fore the shit will hit the fan, and right on cue I'm proven right. They're going to reduce NHS waiting lists by sending patients to private hospitals, and we all know how much that will cost! Sheer fucking madness!

I’m actually astonished that most of what I post here is ignored. I have joined the dots between Silicon Valley, the neocolonial exit strategies of deregulated SEZs as stepping stones to dystopian corporate governed free cities, the staff and alumni of Stanford University, The British American Project, the network of liberty, the IEA, the ATLAS network, Starmer’s official Govt partnership with US shadow bank Blackrock, numerous stakeholders and right-wing governance consultancy’s pushing to install a second empire in free zones (carve outs), and still a slow drip feed of responses, and zero mention in MSM and much of the independent press. Am I wasting my time?

Simple solution: the state should resume funding the NHS properly. There is no economic reason why it shouldn’t. Not a single penny of public money should be, or needs to be, wasted on private healthcare profits. ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-pu…

The Tyranny Of The Myths “It’s time to chart a new course, one rooted in the simple yet transformative idea that national economic policy should serve the people of that nation, not the jet-set globe-trotting elite.” - Neil Wilson #MMT new-wayland.com/blog/the-tyr… #article

Another day, another trotting out of the “need to build consensus” as an excuse for not provisioning social care, and another non-answer from Karin Smyth on R4 as to why. “Consensus” is the new “we’ve run out of money”.

Every privatisation is a scam, designed to allow the rich to milk the great taxpayer cash cow. In other words, you.

The NHS can’t go bust. The UK can’t go bust. Streeting is a lying Tory.

Jeffrey Sachs: Understanding the Ukraine Conflict US STILL Provoking More War in Ukraine It's absolutely tragic what happened. Biden's a completely incompetent president. Was Ukraine really going to defeat Russia? Are you kidding? No way. So it was obvious. Take the deal. But they didn't, because the United States, Biden kept saying as long as it takes, as long as it takes. All that meant was until you run out of Ukrainians.

I'll tell you what. I'll sell you your council house and give you a few shares in a utility, and then I will take all your services and privatise them. You'll be paying four times as much for a shitty shoddy service. But I know you're stupid enough to buy it.... xxxx
