      Person 1 - what is this debt that everyone is saying we need to pay off?
      MMT economist - they are the treasury bonds ie savings accounts held in the Federal reserve. We pay them off by debiting a savings account and crediting a checking account.
      Person 1 - Don't we still have to raise taxes to pay off the debt?
      MMT economist - no, taxes are not used to pay for anything, not to pay off debt, not to pay for programs.
      Person 1 - so we can't just print more money?
      MMT economist - we don't print money when we pay grandma her social security. We have the central bank the Federal reserve credit say Bank of Americas account held at the Fed. Then Bank of America credits her bank account. There is no plethora of options for the Federal government to spend. It spends one way and one way only and that's by crediting bank accounts.
      When it taxes it does the opposite, they debit a bank account, then they debit bank of Americas account at the Federal reserve. Where does the money go? It gets deleted and taken out of the economy.

    Fun fact: Argentina defaulted about 7 times and no adverse affects after an initial jolt. The same will IMO happen in the USA. Lenders however are suckers, and always come back to lend even more after a short adjustment period. The other option to default is hyperinflation, which also might happen since central banks can print money out of thin air.

    The Bankrupt problems during the Roman Empire Era were solved in a pretty gruesome way. Everytime the Empire was at the verge of bankrupt, the Emperor was murdered by the Praetorian Guards, who replaced him by a more competent man. If the substitute didn't resolve the economic problems, then the Guards repeated the process over and over until finding the correct man. Caligula, Galba, Elagabalus, Alexander Severus and many others were victims of that drastic method

    As long as the dollar is the reserve currency the US defaulting is unlikely. For a simple reason 'I go down you go down' applies to a lot of countries who have their monetary reserves in dollars. So there is a vested interest a pretty big one in pretending everything is fine. But if the dollar suddenly stopped being the reserve currency. All bets are off.

    People power is real. Sad that the reality of today is so many care so little about politics to better the lives of everyone. If you buy food or anything to pretty much live you should care about politics, not ignore it. Leaving it to unsuitable,greedy people creates mass destruction on every level. Which is where we are today.

      The problem is that no one DARES mention politics anymore unless;
      A) They're anonymous or
      B) They're with people they know will absolutely agree with their every word.
      Stating your political affiliation in 2022 in the U.S. outside of those two situations will INSTANTLY cause _at least_ half of everyone around you to hate you forever, maybe get you fired and possibly threaten your life.

    I realize this video is about nations going bankrupt. I live in California and have seen cities either go bankrupt, or consider it. When you read the news about some of those cities, its never a surprise that they ran out of money.
    Personal bankruptcy is another story. I understand s*** happens and some people have no choice. But, in a lot of cases, its poor choices that got them in that situation. I have worked with a lot of people over the years that don't seem to understand that when the wallet is empty, stop spending! But, these are the kind of people that drive our economy. I know how much money they make, we are union employees, its no secret what any of us make. Without fail, a new employee will go out and buy the biggest pickup money can buy, followed up with the purchase of a big trailer to go with it. Then they buy off road ATVs for the weekend to park inside the garage of their new home. Even if their spouse is employed, simple arithmetic tells me they are spending almost more than they are earning. I can't figure it out. Yet, when tragedy strikes, they simply shrug their shoulders and file for bankruptcy. I have seen this happen too many times to count.
    I really shouldn't care, my coworkers finances are not my problem. But, I have spent my career living carefully so that could never happen. Actually, I can't take credit for it, my wife has managed our finances. We bought an older home and paid it off in 18 years. I have always owned and driven used cars, and vacations were something we saved for, our home was the only thing bought on credit. Tragedy hit us twice but never put us close to bankruptcy. Thankfully we were prepared for it. The fact my coworkers treat bankruptcy like a "get out of jail free" card bothers me. But, it won't bother me too much longer, thanks to my wife's frugal spending I can retire in 5 more years at 62. I don't see my coworkers ever being able to retire

Now, if you are making 50k and above, not only can you afford insurance, but if you don't have more saved up, then I would refer you back to the previous question, why should it be everybody else's problem but yours?
