  3.  @eddiejohnson4434  its linked to a whole lot more than oil, the US has the deepest and most liquid financial markets, thanks to the size of the US economy, open trade and capital flows with few restrictions, strong rule of law, property rights, and a history of enforcement. There is also the network effects that come with the US dominating invoicing and international finance. Outside of Europe, more than 70% of exports are invoiced in US dollars. Of the total amount borrowed in foreign currency, USD-based borrowing accounts for 62%, up from 56% in 2012. You're not gonna convince anyone to move to a different currency any time soon

  11. These corporations are only interests in buying property as an investment because of how little housing gets built in America. They talk about it all the time, they point to the housing shortage as a reason profits will continue to mount

  12.  @gwauk205  The higher interest rates now are helping with desirability in the short term but im talking long term, the dollar was still very desirable back when rates were 0. And i suppose you could argue the national debt contributes greatly to americas strong economy which further helps the dollars attractiveness, but i wouldn't say its a reason people move into dollars

  13. yeah, they should get with the times and start teaching MMT instead of outdated neoclassical stuff

  16.  @moneybags7064  the jobs guarantee would be for those who can't get a job in the private sector

  18.  @presidential3228  federal taxes aren't actually used by the government, when they want to spend, they just create money

  19.  @presidential3228  Look it up, federal taxes are simply deleted at the IRS. Check out a book called the deficit myth to find out more

  21. you can't "clean the streets" just by moving the homeless for a couple days. You need to relax zoning laws, get rid of parking minimums and make housing as plentiful as possible. You also need a "housing first" approach where the homeless are given homes before being asked to sober up, people can only change their lives after being given the security of shelter

  22.  @kiljaeden5405  Judging by the last jobs report, certainly not

  23.  @cxngo8124  it means everything for determining whether we're in a recession right now

  26.  @chrisramsey6725  expanding fiscal policy can't make recession worse because it supports private sector spending and investment. Recessions happen when the government cuts back on spending and tries to balance it's budget. Every depression in US history has occurred after a period of deficit reduction, including the great depression. And a book by conservative partisan hacks won't change that

  27.  @chrisramsey6725  Right private economic activity never increased because the government invested too much in the private sector, that make sno sense. The lack of investment and spending could have had a lot of reasons, but it certainly wasn't government spending. Your numbers also don't include the people working in public works programs
    1
  28.  @chrisramsey6725  Right, and my point is that government deficits support private investments. They're literally the only way for the private sector to receive net financial assets. You've given me stats that ignore the bigger picture put together by an author with an obvious narrative
