Since the Fascists have seized our national currency, we need to get busy using sub federal public institutions to create public money.
@moneyontheleft has been doing the work on this. Highly recommend.

Always an air of surreality around fiscal discussions when this stuff isn’t on the table.
Over the last 11 financial years, the UK Treasury has spent more on paying interest to the banking sector on their reserves than it has taken in from them in corporate and sector-specific taxes. In 2024-25, it paid over 3 times as much for interest on reserves as it received from taxes on banks.

This is like a send-up of Jacobin-style Marxism that is all about publicly "owning" some shares of private companies. Socialize the profits, double down on the corporation itself as a profit-seeking entity.
Trump to the Novo Nordisk CEO: "Maybe you should give us a piece of the company like I've been asking for."

The left needs to overcome its debilitating fear of debt. Debt is obligation & no society can function without it. The true question is: How is debt politically constructed? Our latest piece opens up this question in a new &, I think, rather unprecedented way. Hopefully, this is just a start.
"Instead of relying on future repayment, public banks would issue grants to projects based on their public mission. ... [A] grant is still debt; only, it is a qualitative obligation to improve social and environmental conditions, rather than a quantitative obligation to repay a financial sum."

It's accounting gimmicks all the way down--always & forever. The political question is not 'How do we truly get our books in order?' but instead 'How do we design a system that genuinely takes care of everyone?'

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Actually our government creates the dollars everyone else uses to buy treasury bonds. Bonds are just an interest bearing savings account at The Fed. Our government pays interest to bond holders by creating dollars out of thin air.
