No like what does the government waste money on

Like everything it does is usually more expensive then the private sector. Money is also sent to thing with very low return on investment

Either way, my point is that government spending into the economy is what helps drive the private sector savings, and it is up the congress to appropriate the budget so that the money is used for the public good rather than just a few people

Like when Obama gave tens of billions of dollars to that Solaris (Spelling?) company and it was all embezzled or waisted then shut down a year or so later

@Snickers you have a very interesting theory. I never heard it before. There may be something to it

It's not a theory really

But if you're interested in it, search up Modern Monetary Theory

What about inflation though? Since the government is just printing money doesn't this result in $ being worth less?

Inflation is a problem and that's what we should be focused on, not deficits or balancing the budget. However, inflation usually isn't a problem if the money being spent out in the government is used to reinvigorate idle capacity like human resources, goods, services, etc.

That's a quite simple explanation but if you want to read up on what MMT thinks of inflation, just read this article (unfortunately its kind of long) http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=10554

I'll talk to you more about this later since I am busy atm

>Republicans have the wrong agenda

It means they aren't fighting for the right stuff?

If the media weren't actively against us, and both parties acted the same, we'd have 75% of the vote

This is bullshit

Republicans are still pretty cucked

Even though Trump is leading them

probably the scariest thing for the dems about trump when he was running is that he doesn't exactly "belong" to any party

he can't be bought and sold like other people

he's pre cool
