Warren Mosler recommended this saying it had good quotes from Stephanie Kelton. Some people say that Warren Mosler did not develop MMT for left wing politics, but he seems to like what Stephanie Kelton has to say about public spending. Pelosi’s planned legislative package for the beginning of a potential House takeover would include establishing ethics and lobbying reforms, lowering the costs of health insurance premiums and prescription drugs, and spending trillion for infrastructure investment. The latter two would cost money, and under pay-go it would all have to be offset. That’s not necessarily a problem — liberals have plenty of ideas for how to raise revenue.

Pelosi’s planned legislative package for the beginning of a potential House takeover would include establishing ethics and lobbying reforms, lowering the costs of health insurance premiums and prescription drugs, and spending $1 trillion for infrastructure investment. The latter two would cost money, and under pay-go it would all have to be offset.
