education doesn't fund itself. the citizens whom are educated grow up and become productive

the funding part is automatic, we are a monetary sovereign

the taxes later on control inflation

healthcare is again a problem of the gov inviting an intermediary into a process that requires none

The education system we have now works that way.

hopefully they become productive.... this new generation is the first that will not be more economically productive than their parents

it all comes from a basic misunderstanding of trying to insert a 'business like' process into something that is a not a business

Yes

the language involved told the tale 'put x on a business footing' and so on

it was a broken metaphor, the gov is not a business

don't fool yourself, religion, education and health care are big businesses

'we' made them big businesses, but that's not how they have to be

there can be businesses that supply the gov as we use in the military

for the user, there should be only the choice of institution

Why is education a charity? Why do students sit at desks and listen to a teacher while doing carefully planned out experiments that doesn’t correlate to the unpredictable real world

It's not a charity. It's a public good

the gov is not a business nor a charity

it doesn't rob peter to pay paul. it pays paul, then taxes peter to control inflation of the currency it itself emits and controls

even under commodity money, debt/credit was still 90% of the action, it just cleared differently

even JFK knew this and he died long before pure fiat dollar

I agree with that

I’m not arguing that.

this "politics of envy" scenario invoking "you are robbing me to pay for somebody else' seducation!" is a misunderstanding of how FEDERAL spending works at least

Inflation needs to be controlled and taxes should flex compared to inflation needs.

the states and counties are not monetary sovereigns however, but the fedgov can transfer at the institution level or as granular as policy wants

re inflation, there are also some bad assumptions about 'how much', often because of a special interest group

in the 70s/80s, it was the fixed income types that wanting the gov to basically gurantee them high rates an dlow inflation, a massive subsidy

these same people funded much of the conservative movement and still do. so it was a very successful operation to get a huge privilege and then fund propaganda to keep it

Although in a country built on freedom, you need a balance

there is no contradiction here

these were essentially the beliefs of the people involved in the constitution, if that matters

having a monetary sovereign and 'general welfare' was part of the goal for creating a more powerful central government

with 'libertarian' style rights a given for individuals

there is no freedom versus gov spending 'balance', it's a bogeyman a certain faction of theUS drags out to scare people into voting against their interest

damn Iran claiming direct responsibility for the attacks

we are now officially in a shooting war with another country

not a non-state terrorist organization

Hello yes, I joined to learn more about this new conflict between Iran and the U.S.

Well, it started with destroying non-state terrorist organizations. Then they decided they wanted to strike back, and now we have to fight. There was no way to get out of that if you want to take down a giant terrorist corporation funded by the government of another country

GG @Yusa, you just advanced to level 8!

I think we just summed up the argument for you Knitemare
