Hi there friends and families, when I saw this clip of Jared Bernstein go viral, my jaw really hit the floor. On multiple levels it underscored how deeply, deeply broken our understanding of economics truly is at the highest levels. My first swing at this was close to an hour long, and maybe we'll make that available as well, but in the interest of sparing you excessive ramblings about the suspension of the classical gold standard, etc, I thought we'd cover the basics first. We'll be be doing much more around economic basics, as always, through the lens of what we as parent should know and help our kids understand in a world where CLEARLY our schools aren't up to the challenge. If you want to go deeper right now, a good place to start is my conversation with economist Russ Roberts here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4h_xaydl92dhZc.htmlsi=P4v6cTC5K5O9vnzO If you really want to geek out on Monetary economics and MMT (as well as understand exactly why MMT is nonsense) I strongly recommend you check out this write-up by my friend and monetary theorist Scott Sumner: www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2021/SumnermodernmonetarytheoryPartI.html

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become 'profiteers,' who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery. Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. --John Maynard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920

Taxing is what gives value to the money. It forces you and me and everyone to use the money. When money is taxed by federal government, the money no longer exists in the economy. Money is printed to be used and taxes take the money that is no longer being used out of the system. The reduced amount of money in the system drives the demand for money up. Supply and Demand. When millionaires and billionaires don’t pay their fair share, which is 70% of them, they are stealing from the public resources that the rest of us should be getting. Our standard of living falls when taxes aren’t paid. Taxes aren’t an evil plot against you. They are the fundamental design of a capitalist system. You love capitalism don’t you?

@DadSavesAmerica

Ай бұрын

​ @realchicagophill Thanks for weighing in... but this is false on multiple levels. Each sentence has mistakes, just about. 1. Yes, the need to pay taxes in the national currency DOES create a use for that currency, but it's one of many. And as we've seen, the value of currencies and inflation rates vary WIDELY between countries. High tax countries can and often have had higher inflation than low tax countries. That's because money's value is determined by the supply and demand for the money itself. Hyper-inflation societies have had high taxes. Also, foreign holders of dollars do not primarily do so because of paying taxes. They acquire them through trade and they hold them to use in trade and exchange. 2. "The reduced amount of money in the system drives the demand for money up. " - um... nope. Reducing the supply of a good does not change the demand for that good. They are two separate things all together. This is econ 101. Reducing supply (a shift in the "supply curve"), will increase the price. If OPEC cuts back oil production, it has no impact on the demand for oil, it raises the price, all else being equal. 3. "When millionaires and billionaires don’t pay their fair share, which is 70% of them, they are stealing from the public resources." Nope. First of all, America has the most progressive tax system in the OECD. We fund our government to a larger degree than any other nation on the backs of our highest income earners. Period. That's a fact. The reason is the rest of the OECD uses a VAT/sales tax which is very regressive taxation. Wealth is not a zero-sum game. Steve Job didn't steal anything from anyone to acquire his wealth. The taxes he paid FAR outstripped the cost and value of government services he received. You seem to be assuming that all income is first the property of the state, that we are slaves, and that whatever we are allowed to keep is a gift from the state. 4. "Our standard of living falls when taxes aren’t paid." um... maybe... for some people, some of the time. Not necessarily for most people, most of the time. How does the funding of the military industrial complex increase our standard of living? Corporate bailouts? Massive farm subsidies to often wealthy farmers? Whether or not our taxes raise or lower our living standards is entirely dependent on whether the funds are deployed in ways that improve people's lives MORE than if they were left in the hands of public to use as we all see fit. If you take my money and waste it, you've not only made me poorer, you've made society in the aggregate poorer. Opportunity costs are one of the core concepts of economics. This is the heart of the question of socialist calculation and why central planning fails. No central planner can marshall the decentralized knowledge, nor do they have the incentive, to spend resources wisely. Even if they're selfless angels, they don't know what is needed, when and where, and in what amount. They lack the continual 24/7 feedback mechanism of competition, profit and loss, etc. Does that mean there should be no government at all? Not necessarily. But I would certainly argue that we are LONG PAST the amount of government spending that passes the cost/benefit test for its competence.

Major entitlement programs and interest will be responsible for 82 percent of projected spending growth over the next 10 years. The total federal debt burden per U.S. household is $250,000

Hello friend. Just admireing the wood foregrip on the AR behind you.. where did you find it.

What is also scary is that when you allow the government to just print money and not tax it and limit it's spending, you are making it no longer a democracy where tax payers are involved indirectly in the process of allocating that money to public goods and services. Hence the unhinged military and war spending despite the negative public opinion.

This is one of Biden's financial economics advisor holy chit cakes.

Why are we paying taxes then?

Ronal Reagan: "We know now that inflation results from all that deficit spending. The government has only two ways of getting money other than raising taxes. It can go into the money market and borrow, competing with its own citizens and driving up interest rates, which it has done, or it can print money, and it's done that. Both methods are inflationary."

This is not surprising because if you look at Bernstein's education, his undergrad was in music, and he has a master's and PhD in social work. No formal education on economics, so how did this social worker/ musician get into economics? I don't know the answer, but the other interviews I've seen with Bernstein has him just repeating the administration's talking points, like we've done something for inflation by lowering the price of insulin. Part of this problem is because Biden's top 30 appointees don't have any business experience, except Mayor Peter, who worked for McKinsey for 4 years right out of school. They don't understand how business and the economy work.

It's hard to start a lie but when you get it going, boy oh boy😂😂😂😢

If ever there was an advertisement for buying gold that is it.

If the government can truly print all the money needed without consequences why is it necessary for people and corporations to pay taxes? MMT is insane.

I have a several decades old undergraduate degree in economics and now it makes perfect sense to me who the supporters of CBDC (central bank digital currency) are - they're the idiots behind the Monopoly game money theory of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). Currency traditionally had been coins struck out of gold or silver, then paper certificates were printed in lieu of the need to carry around bags of coins. These paper certificates were backed by gold or silver and were able to be redeemed on demand by the holder for the equivalent value of gold or silver. Then the government went off from being backed by the value of precious metals to fiat currency. This fiat currency is just a way for the government to say, yah - it's still good for all transactions and for paying off of one's debt (so trust us and please use it). But in order to create $1 of USD fiat currency, Treasury debt of $1 had to be sold on the open market. Not only that but Treasury debt instruments (notes, bills & bonds) needed to pay interest in order to entice people to purchase Treasury debt. The U.S. national debt (aka: sovereign debt) is so huge because politicians are spending more money then they collect in revenue. So imagine an average Joe (not Joe Biden because he knows jack squat about money management) who before taxes has annual salary of $50,000 but takes out credit card after credit card and amasses a total debt load of $5 million. The interest on Joe's debt alone can't be paid off - what do you think happens next? Well that's essentially the U.S., if nothing changes (regarding the political elite spending like drunken sailors) the interest on the national debt will equal the entire national budget! Presently, the interest on the national debt exceeds the annual military budget! The U.S. is endanger of a worse economy crisis than post WW1 Germany! MMT supporters think that printing money not even backed by debt will solve the problem, unfortunately it will only exacerbate the problem. This wouldn't be fiat currency (which is backed by debt), MMT dollars would be the equivalent of printing Monopoly game money. Who the hell would accept U.S. Monopoly game currency for international payments - no one! Which is why if all Western countries go with CBDC, then they can print all the electronic currency they want and not sell debt instruments in order to create this worthless digital currency! But CBDC is not the solution to the sovereign debt international crisis, backing currency by physical assets along with governments severely restricting the size of their payrolls and the scope of their budgets is the only way forward.

Gee wiz. I sure hope more than 2 people understands this. Wishing for something to be untrue doesn't make it so.

New Sub, this man is so base. Aside from Peter Schiff, finally more people on KZread who are educated to talk about economics. I naturally arrived at the same conclusions as Adam Smith and Austrian Economists by being born and raised in CA. I know now that economics (free markets) is not invented, it is discovered. Many do not understand economics because of all the noise of political systems. There is a reason the first chapter of Thomas Sowell's book on basic economics is "trade offs".

The irony is that most people knowingly support this process via their taxes. Only a few have learned how to avoid paying taxes and it is legal to do so.

The question should be why do we print when we can borrow, not other way around

The problem will MMT is if you allow governments to print money with no ceiling you increase the quantity and availability of money. It is an inflationary policy that say no worries you'll just make more wages to compensate for this discrepancy.

This confirms what we already suspected

Remember, the world's bond markets are around nine times the size of the world's stock markets, in terms of capital parked there. And to think, western governments are looking to default on their sovereign debt at some point during this decade, and introduce a CBDC.

And so I kinda' expected some theoretical framework that satisfy the DESCRIPTIVE side of things, followed by some ethical positions about what our priorities should be, which ultimately should lead to a PRESCRIPTIVE policy position, or in other words, a DOCTRINE. But no. MMT is just a bunch of policy prescriptions with no explicit theory or ethical justifications to back them up. Am I wrong? Am I missing something? Because I swear, I tried very hard to figure out what these people actually believe. ...but I get the feeling that they don't wanna' tell me.

WRONG DURING COVID I GOT NOTHING FROM THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I DIDNT HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT OR MAIL BOX

Maybe we should talk about the Federal Reserve and WHO they are and how it works

I am stealing your analogy of selling everything and taking your money to a desert island.

It's not mine... but steal away!!! Ideas are meant to be shared.

Great video; I think a lot of people don’t understand that money is just a representation of labor, it’s what allows us to trade our labor for the goods and services we want. The Federal Government is “printing excess labor” which devalues real labor, which is why our dollars (labor) are worth less.

Government is terrible at my job. Whenever they try to regulate business they mess everything up. They need to stay out of our lives.

So, it's finally happened. The inmates have taken over the asylum. I'm not an economist and I don't understand economics but I have tried to educate myself. I read Stephanie Kelton's book and it made a lot of sense at the time. But I'm a Brit and I wondered how it worked in the UK, we have a fiat currency after all. That's when I started to discover things that didn't fit with the story. The first thing was this. Kelton says that when we pay tax it doesn't go into a special bank account. All that happens, she says, is that our tax debt and the money we pay simply self destruct in a mutual puff of smoke. But in the UK there is a special bank account where all tax revenues go and where all spending has to come from. It's an account with the Bank of England called the Consolidated Fund and it's purpose is as stated on the UK Governments website to receive all tax revenue and where all spending should come from. Any over spend has to be covered by borrowing. The second thing is that she says that the government creates all the money. But on the Bank of England website you can download documents which say that the Bank of England does not create money, commercial banks create the money. I have seen it said that in fact the commercial banks are only operating as agents of the government but I'm not sure about that. So now I'm as confused as ever.

When do the MMT guys talk about wealth expropriation from the masses?

As Walter Williams defined money, it is a certificate of service.

This guy is no Austan Goolsbee.
