I do it because until the people demand that economists look at MMT and give it a fair shot at setting Gov. actions, America is not going to get out of the current economic mess it is in.
I do it because I am convinced it is far more 'true' than the other theories being used.
I do it because most people don't get it. But, I hope they will. They will when they reach their aha moment.
. . . I have seen youtube videos of MMTres where they say that they have gone to Washington and sat down with members of Congress and taught them MMT. That after a while the member reaches his/her aha moment. But that, this doesn't help because the member immediately says something like, "OK, your right. I can see that. BUT, I can't say that out loud. The people don't get it and I would sound like a lunatic until the people do get it."
I do it because I am trying to do my little bit to improve the lives of Americans and also European who labor under austerity. Also every other nation would be better off if a more true economic theory was used by the IMF, etc.
I do it because austerity is destroying people's lives. It is literally killing people. See cuts to the UK's NHS.
