MMT economist Stephanie Kelton: “Donald Trump changed the terms of economic debate” — George Eaton

Summary:
I asked Kelton whether she believes Donald Trump has changed the terms of economic debate. “Absolutely. When he passed the .9trn tax cuts in 2018, which everybody knew were going to increase the deficit, I saw Senator Sanders, and he said to me, ‘Is this you? Did you do this?’ And I replied, ‘It’s a good thing. It’s a good thing in that it’s going to show you can make use of the budget when you have power to carry out your agenda.’”...Credit where credit is due. Of course, DJT had a compliant legislature, whereas when Democrats occupy the White House, congressional Republicans become fiscal conservatives.New Statesman (UK)MMT economist Stephanie Kelton: “Donald Trump changed the terms of economic debate”George Eaton
