you have to give a source for me even to consider them as anything other than made up numbers . We have a sociopath running around claiming he won the election. Any numbers coming from these lunatics must be ignored. Get me official numbers from the States, and I will look at them.

If you were to go back and read my post in regard to your observation of what you thought were anomalies, you would find that I did address these supposed anomalies, and I explained how they were not anomalies, but were to be expected in the normal course of election night, and election week...

You listed your observations that were normal occurrences in a fair election and called them anomalies. They weren't.

Trump s hopelessly corrupt. That will stand regardless of who he pardons.

Have you considered that one or more of your "Axioms" may not correctly express the basis of MMT?

I hadn't seen your post above until just now. I can, for what it is worth, offer a brief opinion and some additional perspective. With regard to "MMT consolidating more power..." , this statement can't be answered as it stands. It may be stemming from a misunderstanding of MMT. MMT itself...

From today's Bloomberg Headlines: Politics McConnell Refuses to Back Bipartisan Stimulus, Slowing Talks

McConnell remains the main stumbling block. Pelosi insisted on sticking to a relief package she knew had no chance to get by McConnell. Was that a wise tactic? I don't know. Without any doubt however, McConnell is the big hurdle.

That's a bit of an over simplification. But nevertheless you have a point.

It seems integrity involves more than legality. Actually these are somewhat difficult issues. It would be nice to get the money out of politics.

We are not totally disagreeing, we are just pointing out aspects that the other my have over looked. However as long as a company's equity price, i.e., the cost of a unit share of ownership, has anything to do with how a company's value is determined, speculation will have much to do with...

Probably you would appreciate being reminded of something Abba Lerner wrote in 1943. : The central idea is that government fiscal policy, its spending and taxing, its borrowing and repayment of loans, its issue of new money, and its withdrawal of money, shall all be undertaken with an eye only...

Most people who buy stocks haven't the vaguest knowledge of their discounted future cash flow. Nor do they necessarily buy them on the recommendation of someone who does. I disagree with respect to fiat currency. You can pay your taxes with fiat currency, a very practical reason for valuing...

It is rather frightening to realize that Trump is fully aware of who won the election and to contemplate the damage to our democracy that he may yet succeed in doing if people don't speak up. In particular the Republican Party Leadership must speak up. I think it is fair to say that this is...

My prior remarks did not have as much to do with that branch of modern economics now referred to as Modern Money Theory, or MMT, so much as they had to do with a common misunderstanding among the general public that what the public calls the "national debt" is no different from private sector...

That should concern all. I hope the next admin will be able to get Senate cooperation and put this DACA issue behind us with a fair and reasonable path to citizenship for all those that want it. Let move on to work on our real problems. Jan 5 is going to be almost as important as Nov. 3.

if they have a taxable income, they will pay either self-employment tax or payroll tax. When they turn 65 they will start receiving medicare benefits. Assuming they are not kicked out of the country before then, and we steal their payroll taxes.
