Re:US Household Debt Surpasses 2008 High on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @07:55PM (#14363860)
$161K in federal "debt" AKA net financial assets of the private sector. The "debt clock" should be renamed the "private sector savings clock".

The monopoly issuer of the dollar is the federal government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4sD-JDVwwQ

and for the conspiracy theorists who deny the US government as the monoploy issuer: http://elliswinningham.net/index.php/2016/12/30/ridiculous-n...

Re:We’re Getting Close to Full Employment on Friday May 05, 2017 @05:34PM (#14276991)
The official unemployment rate (U3 numbers) should be ignored. This number serves little purpose other than being a political tool today.

Great interview of Nick Sand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxiK827_rX8

parting words: "If we can keep moving from truth to love to beauty to preciousness, everything around us becomes sacred"

one of my favorite John Maynard Keynes quotes.
correct! if you are paid in dollars, you are indirectly working for the government.

what is the purpose of taxes? to create unemployment:

what is "real money" to you? Fiat currency is real money to me. It's the only thing I can pay my taxes with.
Where has deficit spending brought growth?

WW2 would be a good example: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/08/mobilization-and-...

And just imagine if we did the same thing, except instead of building weapons, we invested in healthcare, education, renewable energy, etc.

Once you understand the money system, you understand that we are drastically under performing compared to our potential because our citizens and politicians have a backwards understanding of our money. reminds me of a great little clip by Alan Watts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-JMHiaYIiU

Most people don't understand what the "national debt" is. It's the savings of the private sector.

Re:Why we should all have a basic income on Thursday March 16, 2017 @09:22PM (#13890598)
yes. which is why the UBI has been called an unholy alliance or trojan horse.

The Job Guarantee at a living wage is a better solution, it's also counter-cyclical and not inflationary (assuming useful work is done, and we have a lot that needs doing).
