Instead of defining a “balanced budget” as one that matches spending w/tax receipts, what if we considered the federal budget “in balance” at a mix of spending and taxation that balances conditions in the broader economy? So this might be a balanced budget. pic.twitter.com/qq0DQ4sEaU

Economy
Federal govt is the sole issuer of
U.S. money so it can never run out
(like a scoreboard can never run out of
points). It's not like a family or business
that is simply a user of the money.
Don't Fret over the Debt/Deficit.
Focus on a Balanced ECONOMY!
Running federal deficits is good policy if it
balances conditions in the broader economy.
Money is created by fiat when
Congress authorizes the spending.
Recipients' accounts get marked up.
Govt does not need our money.
On the contrary, we need the money
created by federal govt (the issuer).
Taxes do not pay for spending.
Taxation just removes money from
the economy to control inflation and
extreme inequality. By creating demand
for the dollar, taxes give it value.
How much can we spend? We are
only limited by the real resources
available – workers, raw materials,
etc.- to absorb the spending.

責任ある財政運営とは何を意味するのか。それまでの常識は根本から覆された。私たちは政府が税収に合わせて支出を抑えられないことを責めるのではなく、経済をバランスのとれた状況に導くものであればどのような財政収支も受け入れるべきだ。つまり図2の左側に示した予算によって、右側に示したバランスのとれた経済状況が実現できるなら、財政政策を修正する必要はまったくなく、財政は均衡しているとみなすべきである。
