On How The Federal Government Spends and Other Matters

My first interview at Real Progressives on Monetary realities, including how the Federal Government spends, the absence of legitimate solvency concerns, austerity scares and other related questions.

This is the first of a weekly series of interviews scheduled for 8 PM Saturday evenings. The interviewer is Steven D. Grumbine, one of the Founders of Real Progressives.

If you’d like more detail on many of the points I’ve made here, you can find them in my books, especially in Fixing the Debt Without Breaking America and in Fiscal Myths of Campaign 2016. If you’re interested in various aspects of the seigniorage issue, then the first is most important. If it is in the uses of fiscal myths against progressives in campaigns, then the second is the book you want.
