by The deficit as of August 15, was 1 bln. That's the highest in 7 years. And as a percentage of GDP it's now at 4.4%, the highest in 6 years. So why are all the prominent MMTers silent about this?Nothing from Kelton. Mosler continues to put out bearish forecasts. (Going on 5 years now!)They only talk about deficits when it's convenient for them?They say they're not political, but it seems to me that not mentioning the deficit is a way of not giving credit to Trump, even obliquely.Their information and analysis is discredited in my opinion. If you want to play objective you have to be objective.
