      @@4purs yes, it isn't, but it should be, silly goose. I don't think we need to literally spell it out in the job description, but the ideal way to set the system up is so that the meta for politicians is to discredit their rivals by educating the public of their ineffective policy plans. That is the ideal. Optimizing for that intended way to play would require sitting politicians to force other politicians, as well as themselves, to play fair. So yeah I know they're always gonna have skin in the game, but still, there are ways to balance it. Placing a limit on political donations, for starters. Give all sitting politicians a fat pay increase to balance it out, who cares?? Just don't let the rich own the government!! anyway im getting side tracked
      Plus, the economy is kind of a big deal -.- You'd think a newspaper should at least have a dedicated spot for it, no?

      You’re still in high school and investing, you’re already ahead of many people your age. I didn’t start long term savings until 22 and that’s still pretty early. At your age I recommend putting extra money in longer term safe plays like HYSA or blue chip/ETFs. You’re still young so being loose with your money isn’t too bad honestly so still have fun, but investing a bit into your future will pay off very nicely in long term.

    Thatcher was actually quite unpopular at the time when she was in power as far as I know, at least in Scotland and some places in England, because not only did she stop the free milk program for children during a financial crisis, earning her the nickname “Thatcher the milk snatcher” but she also destroyed several industries in Scotland with her monetarism, Reaganomics bs policies.
    Industries such as shipbuilding, steel, coal, engineering, car and textile manufacturing were essentially all completely stripped of government subsidies overnight while she outsourced the work to other countries and privatised the energy sector, causing rampant unemployment and absolutely devastating communities across the country. It was catastrophic, the privatisation of the energy sector is still hurting the working class today. People in Scotland and northern England hated her so much that they literally celebrated her death in the streets like it was New Year’s Eve.
    But tories liked her. Because of course they would. She made them all richer as she made everyone else more poor.

    • @bobi6191
      @bobi6191 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would describe Thatcher as divisive rather than unpopular. She didn’t win three general elections for no reason. She’s divisive in the sense that back then there were people who absolutely hated her guts, and others who worshiped the ground she walked on. The same is still largely true. To some, she was the embodiment of everything British Conservatism stands for. To others, she’s the evil witch who wrecked unions, destroyed traditional manufacturing, sold off council homes, privatized key sectors like energy, water and the railways. I personally stand with the latter camp, and I think she’s a perfect example of how policies enacted 30 to 40 years ago, are ruining people’s lives in the present.

    I think half the problem is that every figure is in billions or trillions most people have zero comprehension.

      It's also the fact that the average person in America pays about $17k in taxes a year. The fact that the debt grows by 3.6 trillion a year is so astronomically unfathomable it just doesn't mean anything.
      I can't afford to pay more in taxes, I still need the roads to go work, the school for my kid, etc. Its just disconnected from the average person. So telling me that my $1.7k of my money went to debt is meaningless to me. Tell me what percent of my income went to Boeing to build shit planes I'm to scared to fly. Tell me how much I paid Lockheed Martin to build 10k missiles for a war I don't support. Tell me how much of my income was given to tax cuts for Oil companies to contaminate my water.
      The debt is important, but the real solution to the debt is fixing the corruption and misappropriation of our tax dollars, not shaming Americans for stuff they never even had the choice to vote on. I wouldn't of voted to bail out the Banks in 08. I didn't agree to give out loans to businesses with no checks or balances on who actually got them.

      Yeah, Atrioc comes off as a bit of a deficit hawk to me, which I think is the wrong thing to focus on. The problem is that the expansionary monetary policy pursued by the Biden admin is mainly propping up the asset price bubble imo, rather than creating better jobs (though he certainly has made some moves and is vastly better than his predecessor). If government spending redistributes money at the cost of a deficit in the short term and/or inflation, it can 100% be worth it. But we're seeing the opposite - the money is being wasted but the inflation and down the line the deficit is going to hurt the average person. Deficit spending isn't problematic in and of itself, it's the fact that it's being used the wrong way.

      @awijaya2116 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      It’s more that Reagan and Thatcher’s situations were very different from Millei’s.
      Thatcher and Reagan inherited economies that had problems stemming largely from outside factors (energy crises, mostly). Fundamentally they were still sound economies, and would have most likely rebounded to performing well after some time.
      Millei may be batshit insane but he’s not wrong about Argentina’s problems being mostly self inflicted. Countries don’t have a half dozen different exchange rates and get considered to be fiscally hopeless by the IMF unless they actively try to sabotage themselves.
      The argentinian welfare state is unsustainable, which is almost impressive given how they don’t have any demographic problems.

      ​ @awijaya2116 To say the issue is the welfare state politics, rather than Neoliberal politics who fucked the country sideways every. fucking. time, is kind of disingenuous or plain ignorant of sufficient context.
      From Plan Condor to Memenism, then with the 145b loan Macri took (while they openly admitted to having inhereted a very stable and debt-free economy), all while allowing capital to freely flow out of the country after doing stupid-easy carry-trade, allowing the richest people to migrate out of the country to avoid paying taxes, etc, seem mighty big compared to allowing people not to literally die on the streets like dogs.

      @idontcare9041 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I don't get it either. I agree that spending needs to be cut and that it's unsustainable on a fundamental level.
      When I researched Milei a few months ago it seemed like yes he's trying to cut gov spending and his financial policy is very different but he's also massively favoring the upper class and a lot of his ideas would unneccessarily affect the lower class for no actual benefit for the state, like removing a lot of workers rights and giving landlords the ability to do uncapped rent hikes and charge any currency (there is/was a limit on how much you can exchange too) at a time when inflation is this high and he's additionally devaluing the peso seems insane to me. Sure there's parts that aren't totally bad and might perhaps work but overall it seems pretty bad to me.

    It is bizarre seeing America go through the same problems African countries( like my own country, Zambia) have gone through and are still going through. Zambia had pulled out massive loans from the IWF and other entities which it was not able to pay back due to misallocation of funds(our good friend corruption). It led to rising debt forcing the government to spend most of its money on paying back debt instead of investing in education and healthcare which would have been a net positive. And you know what the government decided to do to solve this problem? You guessed right pull out more loans just further worsening the problem. Its better since we got a new president actually trying his best but he inherited a fixer upper it still needs a lot of work. I wrote all this to say it is interesting and also frightening to see American politicians make similar decisions to African politicians. If it keeps going this way, from looking at the experience of my own country, it may not get to good in the far future hopefully it changes.

Pulling out massive loans leading a almost unmanageable debt, spending majority of its GDP just to pay off that debt instead of investing in valuable resources and infrastructure and then pulling more loans or printing money just worsen the issue. I am not too knowledgeable to the nuisances of the US inflation rate or interest rates to confidently speak on it but what I am saying is that if a Country's leadership is making a series of decisions like this, it is not a good sign.

    Just to spread a bit of hope, there ARE better systems out there that can bring debt down. It might be unlikely in the US, but a cool system is the so-called "Debt Break" in Switzerland, which allows for a stretchy spending strategy where you overspend (increase debt) when the economy is down and underspend (pay off debt) when it's booming

    OK, but the problem with chasing 'a balanced budget' from the point of view of someone who was actually around for the whole 'Tea Party movement' thing is that in practice it's almost always used as any excuse to gut government services people actually need and should have and could actually be great value for money in terms of reducing inequality, creating jobs and wealth, meeting climate objectives and improving the overall standard of living; to instead fund the Army or police another few trillion here and there, or cut taxes for those who pay very little in taxes anyway.
    In theory, if for example, America was run like an actual 'representative democracy', we would have Medicare For All and have cut the Army budget by like 50%.
    For the UK it's the worse of two worlds, we don't even have that much left to reliably tax apart from wealth held by rich people from abroad, and even the police are underfunded.

Central bank buys securities in open market, more money gets circulated into the economy, rates go down. Vice versa if they sell. It based around a targeted policy rate that the central bank sets.

    MMT isn't 'no taxes only spend', you still tax to maintain the currency value. The problem isn't that we are spending, it is that we let corporations and individual rake in billions, use unrealized gains as collateral, and dodge their already insanely low tax liability. We need a balance, but you can't cut aid to families when they are already overloaded with consumer debt, so we need to quit subsidizing greed that almost exclusively benefits the already wealthy. Once you've tackled that, then we can focus on making existing programs more efficient by cutting out red tape.
    Inflation is just a cover for continuing to gouge record profits at the expense of the working class. Inflation is just as strong in sectors where the supply side has recovered or even rebounded beyond pre-COVID.
    Not that any of that matters because Jerome will fold to Biden, inequality will continue to grow, the deficit will keep growing, and the proles will keep struggling. Still begging for a crumb of trickle down...

      every time Brandon talks economics I just skip 99% of the time. He doesn’t know much about MMT and it’s kinda obvious. Hearing “MMT-pilled” made me cringe. Either he’s reading every mainstream orthodox economist slander about it or just hasn’t actually read anything from the heterodox economists that developed MMT very thoroughly.

    The problem is people hear “we need to cut spending” as “social security needs to go”. When we say “we need to cut spending” I think we should be clear that means military spending and some foreign affairs, and also increasing top marginal taxes and closing loopholes. Also capital gains tax. That’s part of the reason Josh Howley can be right about budgeting being a problem, but his solution is a detriment to society.

Atriocs point about having an extra $658b if they hadn't borrowed is disingenuous because if the government had not taken out any debt then the economy wouldn't be the size it is, and they would therefore have a lot less tax revenue etc.

    US debt has some positives. For instance, in order to be the global reserve currency, there has to be enough of tjay currency to use. If we had no debt, we almost certainly wouldn't have the dollar be the standard because there wouldn't be enough dollars for the world to use. The us isn't a big enough percentage of the whole global economy to warrant all of our special statuses, nor do we have predicted his speed growth on the horizon. Debt is a big ole band aid for that too.
