    Wait, is your argument serious that we should just print more money lmao

    All this time you spend arguing about politics and somehow you managed to arrive at the same solution as my 5 year old niece

    Idk why so many people bothered to study economics

    He’s a college educated lunatic that lives in his parents house pretending he’s oppressed. Must be nice to be a coddled white male

    Why are you acting like inflation isn’t a thing

    There’s a (low) limit to how much value can be created through seigniorage

    there are measures to control inflation.

    Like Synopsis I would love to get along with you and have a productive discussion, I really would. But your opinions (emphasis on opinions, there is absolutely no factual basis behind any of this s*** you say) are just so ridiculous I cannot bring myself to do so. There are plenty of middle schoolers capable of forming more intelligent opinions than you do.

    Sure which is why you should make university free under means testing

    Making it free for everyone just puts wealthy students at an advantage

    Your niece is smarter than you if you don't agree with her. go do some research on mmt, get back to me. or just read the deficit myth

    First thing I came back with: igmchicago.org/surveys/modern-monetary-theory

    "We decided to put the ideas to our US panel of economic experts by asking them whether they agreed or disagreed with the following statements, and if so how strongly and with what degree of confidence:

    (a) Countries that borrow in their own currency should not worry about government deficits because they can always create money to finance their debt.

    (b) Countries that borrow in their own currency can finance as much real government spending as they want by creating money.

    Of our 42 experts, 38 participated in this survey. On the first statement, only 1 expressed no opinion, 15 disagreed and 22 strongly disagreed. On the second statement, 3 expressed no opinion, 11 disagreed and 24 strongly disagreed.

    Weighted by each expert’s confidence in their response, the results were 72% strongly disagree and 28% disagree on the first statement; and 76% strongly disagree and 24% disagree on the second statement. While the statements that we put to our panel often command more than 80% levels of agreement (or disagreement), this kind of unanimity of opinion is rare."

    If college is free for everyone, wealthy students who have better access to resources will have an advantage in education
