I made a claim and supplied a reference for defense of the claim. Their claim is much closer to the true operations of government finance than the prevailing perceptions. They discuss Paul Krugman’s and Larry Summers’ criticisms in the podcast. multiple political cycles have been dominated by demonstrably false claims and those claims have been used to refute proper understanding and progress. It’s important to refute and push back against such dismissive rhetoric.

> Their claim is much closer to the true operations of government finance than the prevailing perceptions. Um... yeah, I want to see a bit more than a podcast as evidence of that assertion. > multiple political cycles have been dominated by demonstrably false claims and those claims have been used to refute proper understanding and progress. It’s important to refute and push back against such dismissive rhetoric. It takes a lot more than you have supplied to push back. That's not "dismissive". That's reality. And, "demonstrably false claims"? Absolutely, there have been a bunch, from a bunch of different sides. All the more reason we should want a bit more evidence than a podcast from last week before we believe MMT.
