The big predatory extractive corporate sector owns dc, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I couldn't agree with both you gentlemen more, like I said in my other comment we just have to get hyper hyper aggressive and have a state-by-state strategy. We are the little guy with no power and they just laugh us off I mean we're like gnats or flies on their windshield that they just bat us away even rocana I mean he may talk sincerely and he may even mean well but we've seen how far he's willing to go for even the most modest Actions that would benefit an average person and you can see that's not very far. So yeah I see no other option aggressive strategized planned well thought out state by state strategy what else is there? sorry for the lack of punctuation I'm dictating this on my phone while I'm driving.

That's true he did say that. Thanks for being willing to see one of my most fundamental human rights get shredded, Joe. You're a real stand-up guy.

I think it's amazing what this man is doing, and I give him all the kudos and backpats in the world, but if we want to see the right kind of change we're just going to have to find a way and I know it's going to be hard to win office. It's probably going to have to be a state by state strategy, because DC is an absolute swamp and as we all know Trump did nothing but stock it even more with the various political animals and swamp monsters that call it home. So while I'm always hopeful and I have nothing but admiration for this gentleman, I don't think that's going to be our most direct or efficient way to getting to the change that we seek. I think we need to get hyper aggressive and hyper strategic on a state by state strategy, and sort of forget about dc. at least for the time being I mean it's just so hypercorrupt, it's just so absolutely big corporation central. I don't know if it's ever going to work for the common man, and I don't know if it ever has. Winning office in a state by state strategy I think that's the only way, and hopefully it won't take too too long to get there but if and when we do, then we just start passing our agenda at the assembly level. So that's definitely where I'm at with this stuff right now. love to hear anyone else's thoughts on that.

To me it's simple. Maybe I'm simplifying it too much, but the way I see it, it just means that the federal government can print and mint as much money as it goddamn wants. And if by some determination they feel there's too much money circulation, they can choose to tax back whatever they decide. But what is keeping the federal government from printing and minting 2 , 3, 4, 5, 10 times as much as they're printing right now? For whatever purpose? Hopefully for the general good but for any purpose? we've been sold a bill of goods for so fucking long that says oh if you print too much money it'll cause XYZ to happen, usually referring to inflation. I don't believe that and that's what it sounds like MMT is saying to me. If I have any of this wrong in whole or in part, anybody may freely step forward to correct me, but I think that's the gist of it and that's how I understand it.
