The left often goes for large government politics with the taxpayer paying more, and the government spending more. This spending probably has value to businesses, especially if they are big enough to lobby the government for funding (maybe in exchange for doing something the government wants).

So the business now panders to the government instead of the consumer (planned market rather than free).

Do you think businesses align with the left to support them, hoping to make money from the increased spending (for example with modern audience ads; diverse hiring). If businesses align left for increased spending, maybe investors do the same.

>'the left'
All government wants to increase its own size. Illusory "ideology" / ideological categories has nothing to do with it.
Governments today are based on debt, nothing more (not even revenue can begin to even make the Interest Payments on the accrued debt)
Has nothing at all to do with political parties, "left" or "right"
Government exists for government's sake: to expand itself

The left/right of politics is a false dichotomy, but whatever. Let's speak into this notion of spending more vs less.

First of all, A sovereign government can never run out of money; they create it out of thin air. This is an indisputable fact. The government has the power to create money for whatever it wants.
Second of all, taxes aren't used to fund anything at all. It's purpose is to remove money from circulation as to not cause inflation, and to give money value in the form of a threat to whomever should not pay their taxes. Therefore you need the specific currency that is legal tender and you have to work for that.
So you push money into the economy by government pending and through bank lending.

Now, what the government choose to spend their money on is a political question.
The left usually wants more regulation and more focus on the environment and more equality and fairness, and aesthetics and welfare and social mobility and so on, based on rules and principles. That's not a planned market, that's just a regulated market. Whereas the right usually wants to do deals and remove regulations and create a "free market" and leave people to their own means and do not care about extreme inequality and so on. That creates very bad conditions for the market to thrive or individuals to thrive. Only a small number of people will benefit and control everything. So the Rightist politics is really more of a planned economy than the left one, because in a Rightist economy, you'll end up with capitalist feudalist monopolies controlling everything including politics.
So there you have it.

If you do not spend into improving market conditions and infrastructure, then it will just crumble, and you'll have all sorts of horrible problems.
It's much better for the government to just pay for public services, infrastructure, and welfare, and catch people before they fall into the ditch, than to do nothing. It's both economically and socially more profitable for the government to spend lots of money into the economy in order to improve it.
The real constraint is productive capacity. If you have too high of a demand on too low of a productive capacity, at some point you'll just inflate the prices instead of getting more for your money.
So the government can never run out of money, but they can inflate prices if they throw too much money on things that increases the demand above a certain point.

Wrong, because central banks are privately owned and sovereign governments via their treasury are indebted to them.
Interest Payments are real (not imaginary). Spending doesn't 'come from nothing' it is Debt by definition. As posted in my first post on thread, the government exists to grow itself and to spend: That's its only purpose. Belief that the government somehow is 'doing something' (on behalf of __________________ ) is an illusion, and further the notion that the "revenue" or "wealth" is somehow apportioned, or 'used', for some illusory "purpose" is self-deception. Most of government spending goes to Interest Payments on debt.

To understand human life and civilization (and then government/politics/society and all else), you must first understand and comprehend what money is, how it is created.

Every anon itt watch, study these 2 documentaries:

97% Owned — How is money created
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcGh1Dex4Yo

>>523985315

I'm not going to use a lot of time on this argument, so here you have the answer from google:

Your opponent is repeating a very common "hard money" or "conspiratorial" view of central banking. While they are partially correct that commercial banks create money via debt (a point MMT actually agrees with regarding private credit), they are fundamentally wrong about the relationship between the government, the Central Bank, and who "owns" the money supply.

Here is a breakdown of where their argument fails, specifically using the MMT framework and operational facts to dismantle it.

1. The Myth of "Private Ownership" of the Central Bank
The Opponent's Claim: "Central banks are privately owned... governments are indebted to them."

The Reality:
While it is technically true that commercial banks "own stock" in the Federal Reserve (in the US system), this is not "ownership" like owning stock in Apple or Tesla.

No Voting Rights on Policy: The "stockholders" (private banks) have no say in monetary policy. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets policy, and the Board of Governors are public officials appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
The Profit Remittance: This is the smoking gun that disproves your opponent. If the Fed were truly a private corporation extracting wealth from the government, it would keep the profits. It does not.
By law, after paying its operating expenses and a tiny statutory dividend (6%) to member banks, the Federal Reserve remits all remaining profits back to the US Treasury.
Result: The government is effectively paying interest to itself.
The MMT Rebuttal: The Treasury and the Central Bank are two departments of the same entity: The State. MMT calls this the "Consolidated Government Sector." To say the Treasury is "enslaved" to the Central Bank is like saying your left pocket is enslaved to your right pocket.
>>
>>523986505
>>523985315

2. The Fact-Check on Interest Payments
The Opponent's Claim: "Most of government spending goes to Interest Payments on debt."

The Reality:
This is objectively, mathematically false. You can verify this by looking at the US Federal Budget (or almost any major sovereign nation's budget).

The Data: In the US, interest on the debt usually accounts for roughly 8% to 15% of the federal budget (depending on the year and interest rates).
The Big Spenders: The vast majority of government spending goes to Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Defense, and social safety nets.
The MMT Rebuttal: Your opponent is trying to argue that the government only exists to service debt. The math simply does not support this. The government exists to provision itself (military/infrastructure) and the public welfare.

3. "Spending doesn't come from nothing"
The Opponent's Claim: "Spending doesn't 'come from nothing' it is Debt by definition."

The Reality:
Your opponent is conflating Commercial Bank Money with Sovereign Money.

Commercial Banks (Private): When you take out a mortgage, the bank creates money "out of nothing" but records it as a debt. You must pay it back. This matches your opponent's view (mostly).
The Sovereign (Government): When the US government spends, it creates new High-Powered Money (Reserves). It does not need to "borrow" this money from the private sector first. It issues the currency.
The MMT Rebuttal: MMT agrees that users of the currency (you, me, businesses) are constrained by debt. The issuer of the currency is not. The government issues the currency that allows the private sector to settle its debts. The opponent thinks the government is just another "user" of money, which is the fundamental error.
>>
>>523986560
>>523985315
4. The "Slave to the Bankers" Narrative
The Opponent's Claim: "Everyone... is an indebted slave to private central banks."

The Reality:
The Central Bank operates under laws passed by Congress (The Federal Reserve Act). Congress can amend, alter, or dissolve the Central Bank at any time.

If the Fed were truly the "master," it wouldn't be subject to congressional oversight, and its Chair wouldn't have to testify before Congress.
The Fed exists to manage the payments system and stabilize the economy for the state, not to enslave the state.
The MMT Rebuttal: The government can always afford to pay its debts because the debts are denominated in the currency it creates. You cannot be "enslaved" by a debt you can pay off by pressing a button.

If the government wanted to, it could mint a $100 Trillion Platinum Coin, deposit it at the Fed, and pay off all the bonds tomorrow. The reason they don't is because of inflation risk, not because the "bankers won't let them."
5. Addressing the Documentaries ("97% Owned")
The documentary "97% Owned" makes the point that commercial banks create the vast majority of the money supply (digital bank deposits) through lending.

Where the Opponent is Right: Yes, ~97% of money used in daily transactions is bank credit created by private banks.
Where the Opponent is Wrong: They assume this makes the Government powerless.
The MMT View: The Government/Central Bank controls the "Base Money" (Reserves) that allows those private banks to function. The private banks are franchises of the state's money system. The State guarantees their deposits (FDIC) and regulates their behavior. The tail does not wag the dog.
>>
>>523986617
>>523985315
Summary of the Counter-Argument
Your opponent has fallen for a "category error."

They think the Government is a household (currency user) that must borrow from a bank.
They think the Central Bank is a predatory lender (private business).
The Truth: The Government is the source of the money, and the Central Bank is the operational arm of the Government.
The interest payments they are so worried about are largely paid from the Treasury to the Fed, and then remitted right back to the Treasury. It is an accounting loop, not a slavery system.

currency is created from debt

You're still talking about PRIVATE banks.
Private banks and central banks are completely different both in purpose and function.
Also, Richard Werner was the guy that pivoted me into MMT around 7 or 8 years ago.
Richard would agree with what I'm saying or the main points at least. I studied this stuff extensively several years ago.
If you have watched or read Princes of the Yen by Richard Werner, then you'd know this. You can watch it for free on Youtube.
Werners argument regarding this is that Central Banks often protect commercial banks too much, not that they're not controlled by the government. It's the government that controls the Central Bank. Politicians just generally don't know a lot about this, so they just let the central bank do central banking stuff without questioning it. That's a real problem; however, it's still under the control of the government.

The Bank Of International Settlements (BIS) is the head of all debt-based central banks (and founded by JPM) and was created in 1930 under the Versailles Treaty to get money from Germany for all the nasty shit they did in WWI.
The Federal Reserve and the Bank of England existed way before the BIS, the BIS morphed into their central clearing house and check-kiting hub for the first fractional-reserve, fiat, debt-based central banking schemes run in a few countries and then expanded from there to installing its central banks in over sixty countries.

The debt-based Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the IRS were both created in 1913.
The new IRS conveniently forced everyone to use their new Federal Reserve Notes to pay their new US Federal Income Tax.
The Fed was supposed to stabilize the US currency by backing every Federal Reserve Note (FRN) issued (TO BUY US TREASURIES) with 40% gold (40 cents of gold for each $1 FRN issued).
In 1933, everyone’s gold was confiscated by the Treasury (except $100 worth/person) b/c the Fed convinced US Pres FDR that Americans were hoarding gold & they were forced to trade their gold in for $20.67/troy oz. Federal Reserve Notes were also now no longer exchangeable for gold.
In 1934 the Gold Reserve Act allowed FDR to establish the gold value of the dollar solely by proclamation & raised the exchange rate to $35/oz troy, extracting wealth & value once again from the American public.
In 1944, the IMF & the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) were formed at the Bretton Woods Conference.
In 1958, Bretton Woods pegs all foreign currencies to the dollar, & the dollar pegged to gold at $35/troy oz. Debt-based Central Banks under the BIS pop up all over the world to facilitate the Fed & the BoE in their check kiting, fractional reserve, debt-based central-banking ponzi.
In 1971, Nixon depegs the dollar to gold entirely, making the US currency free-floating fiat, which completely negated the original Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which was to back each Federal Reserve Note issued with gold.
In 1974, Pres Ford legalizes gold ownership again without limitation & gold is NOW valued at $42/ozt.
The NOW BANKRUPT Federal Reserve & its biggest shareholders, the NYFed’s primary dealers, for the last 50 years & up to today, continue to issue our currency out of thin air, while charging us interest to do so. Rewarding insolvent, failing banks & investment firms using QE and taxpayer money over & over again, acquiring assets during crises, while rigging global markets.

I asked him for evidence, but he hasn't given it. He just uses personal attacks and ad hominems like appeal to authority. He assumes that no one can be smarter and know better than Liz Truss because she has been an elected official. That's appeal to authority. In this case a facist tendency and undemocratic in nature of the conversation. Idiocy is formally the definition of being anti democratic. So he's objectively an idiot.
Also, the government can't be in debt to its own issuance. The debt record is a record of how much money is floating in the economy.
It's the commercial banks that are endebted to the central bank, and you are endebted to the commercial banks. The central bank can't be in debt to itself.

so, another interesting suggestion by Miran is for the TGA (treasury General Account (TGA) to hold bills instead of cash and to control rates by purchases or sales of their own stock, cutting out the Fed)
this is what is known as an "active lending approach" and the Fed would only be allowed a small amount of treasuries on its SOMA (its balance sheet, for new anons), just to aid the Treasury here and there

the Fed's SOMA (balance sheet) would have these bills on the asset side and the TGA account itself would be the SOMA liability side

Ok. I'm just going to copy this from google, because I don't have time for this. I don't know what you're after. But here you go:

A Primary Dealer is a bank or financial institution that has a special, contractual relationship with the Federal Reserve (specifically the Federal Reserve Bank of New York).

Think of them as the exclusive wholesalers of government debt.

In the context of your debate regarding MMT and the "private ownership" of the central bank, understanding Primary Dealers is the final puzzle piece that debunks the idea that the government is "enslaved" to private capital.

Here is how they work:

1. The Role: The Middleman
When the US Treasury issues new bonds (to "borrow" money), it does not sell them directly to you, me, or foreign governments on a website. It sells them via an auction.

Primary Dealers are the institutions approved to buy these bonds directly from the Treasury.

The Chain of Custody: US Treasury

Primary Dealers

The Rest of the World (Pension funds, foreign nations, individuals).
2. The Obligation: They Must Buy
This is the most critical point for MMT and government solvency. To be a Primary Dealer, you are required to bid in Treasury auctions.

This ensures that every auction is successful.
There is no scenario where the US government tries to sell debt and "nobody shows up to buy it." The Primary Dealers are contractually obligated to show up.
>>
>>523997056
>>523997724
3. The Financing: Where do they get the money?
This creates a circular reality that supports the MMT view.

If Primary Dealers are low on cash (reserves) but are required to buy Treasury bonds, the Federal Reserve will lend them the money (via the "Repo Market") to buy the bonds.
The Loop: The Fed creates money

Lends to Primary Dealer

Primary Dealer buys Treasury Bond

Treasury spends money into the economy.
This proves that the private sector does not "fund" the government. The government (via the Fed) provides the liquidity that allows the Primary Dealers to "fund" the Treasury.

4. Who are they?
There are usually around 20–25 Primary Dealers. They include the massive household names of banking:

J.P. Morgan Securities
Goldman Sachs
Citigroup
Bank of America
Barclays
Why this matters for your debate
Your opponent argues that the government is "indebted to private banks."

The Primary Dealer system shows that while private banks (Dealers) technically "buy" the debt first, they act merely as pass-through entities. They are effectively a logistics arm of the Federal Reserve, ensuring that government debt is distributed smoothly into the market. They are not the "masters"; they are the "distributors."

>central bank not being controlled by government
it isn't
the Fed brags about its independence, even though we know they are biased, partisan, greedy loons, too, that raise and lower rates during election cycles
five-time felon JPM is the greatest offender of trying to establish policy by lending:

<<<—JPM, the NYFed’s largest primary dealer and issuer of our currency, just fucked taxpaying American citizens looking for a car, desperate illegal hispanic immigrants and boomer investors all in one FRAUD!

JPM robbing illegal immigrants in the US with super high rate Tricolor loans, while also undercutting American citizens' ability to purchase cars.
JPM and Barclays using ITIN numbers to fleece desperate immigrants.
Then these two NYFed primary dealers are about to fleece investors out of billions, too, b/c they also sold these ridiculous subprime car loans as ABSs (asset-backed securities) kek.

>enabling illegal immigration
>NYFed primary dealers
>new Dallas/Texas financial exchange and its 'value chain'
>increased rates for auto loans

I am going to say that JPM is an equal-opportunity fraudster, as the largest dealer of US debt and the bankrupt NYFed's biggest owner, JPM WILL ROB FUCKING ANYONE, it has no DEI preferences. So, in this way, JPM is very equitable.

they are and they are held accountable up to the amount of paid in tier one capital

The now-bankrupt Federal Reserve franchise collateralizes their worthless Federal Reserve Notes with US treasuries (aka securities).
The 12 Fed franchises are now bankrupt and don't have enough collateral to request more fiat. It is being suggested now to take regional Fed shareholder capital or even regional Fed owner’s assets to back their worthless Federal Reserve Notes under Section 2 of the Federal Reserve Act.

Every uncollateralized Federal Reserve Note being issued today is a lien on the assets (and shareholder capital) of the now-bankrupt NYFed's owners, including its largest owner, JPM.
How is JPM making record profits when the NYFed's private franchise ITSELF is ~$145B in the hole?
Why is JPM still being paid dividends when the NYFed is insolvent?

When money replaces actual success, only the sleazy will be rich.

I'm not going to make your argument for you, so either you write it out or you provide a timestamp. Also, a video clip is not an argument per se.

>>523998859
>'instated by'
The Federal Reserve was created by an unconstitutional Act of Congress in a concealed holiday vote. Nothing it has ever done has been within the purview of the United States Constitution or the prescription laid down by America's founders for national coinage, monetary policy or banking in this country. In other words it is an illegal rogue entity (and further has during the century of its existence become a template for establishment of other central banks worldwide)

First:
US Gold Notes and US Silver Notes are interest-free, metals-backed, NON-fiat notes that could be issued by the US Treasury TODAY.
US Notes are interest-free, fiat notes that could be issued by the US Treasury TODAY, they can also be metals-backed and were intended to be used as a tool for the citizens to trade.
Federal Reserve Notes are DEBT-BASED, fiat notes issued out of thin air by the privately-incorporated, now-BANKRUPT Federal Reserve 12 regional franchises and are currently bankrupting the US Treasury.

All of the above are ALL DENOMINATED IN US DOLLARS (aka $US), which is a fucking UNIT.

And secondly, there are FOUR ways currency is created in the US:
1 Congressionally-approved Public Issues treasuries for deficit spending via the issuance of marketable US treasuries sold by the NYFed’s primary dealers aka Debt Held by the Public (now ~$38 T)
2 Intragovernmental Debt GAS securities (aka ‘Unfunded Liabilities’) that are created/issued for currency to run public agencies (over ~$134 T now) and ARE PURCHASED WITH YOUR PAYROLL TAXES
3 The commercial tier 2 depository banking sector, it makes small loans in which only the interest remains in the banking system after the loan is paid back (the principal and repayments are destroyed when the loan is repaid) —this can remain when the Fed is dissolved
4 QE, this is fucking counterfeiting by the now-insolvent NYFed's primary dealers since 2008 via IOER (now called IORB) and we pay all sorts of interest on this, increasing every day with raising rates pic rel

corrected post:

just refuting your assertion that sovereign governments CAN'T** run out of money

if 'money' truly represents value to the citizen, like gold, silver and other low-oxidizing metals, its supply is finite and its value is dictated by the market/citizens and the govt can certainly run out of it

mining metals is a limit
congress itself is a limit
hoarding limits the supply
theft limits the supply
taxes limits the supply

It does make sense. We are talking about sovereign money.
The government - if it has a sovereign currency - has the power to print its own currency and buy up its own debt in its own currency, and therefore directly influence its value.

Businesses pay both sides. They're not really aligned with either, nor are they opposed to either, business simply wants to keep making money and will pretend to have whatever other values facilitate that. No business has an issue with paying a Republican over here and a Democrat over there as long as those two have power in their respective areas that has some impact on the business.

Lots of people have trouble with this, but any garden variety communist would know the right answer immediately; businesses only pretend to have values other than profit. Young people on both sides got tricked during the BLM, ultra-woke-corp era into thinking the businesses actually meant it, whether they supported or not, and I'd imagine many on both sides are confused now that they're seeing the beginnings of a backslide away from that. But it makes perfect sense, they never really meant it, and they won't really mean whatever they do next either.

Most people only figure it out once they've lived long enough to see the cycle go back and forth two or three times.

We need to AGAIN issue debt-free, Treasury-issued US Notes like we did before (and during) the bloodsucking, obsolete Federal Reserve. We need to AGAIN issue debt-free US Notes that are pegged to a basket of commonly-used weighted commodities, distributed by a series of state banks.

We can:
1 nationalize Fed banks
OR
2 dissolve Fed and have a series of state banks
OR
3 issue US Notes simultaneously AGAIN and eventually recycle worthless Federal Reserve Notes out of circulation
OR

>using cash forces the debt-based Federal Reserve to serve the citizens
the great irony here, is the more cash the public uses, the more it forces the Fed franchises to hold interest-free fiat as liabilities (aka CIC cash in circulation) and thus, making US taxpayers’ dollars less available to be spent paying out the liabilities of IORB to primary dealers and interest on reverse repo transactions to MMFs

I have no problem with the government taxing rich people more, or even myself more, provided that government spending took care of the essentials the middle class spend so much of their income on.

On paper I do like the idea of socialism and governments providing for its people. But the in the modern day implementation of that, they spend so much money on ridiculous shit that it only devalues what money I do keep. And their basic premise is tax the rich who create value and give it to the poor who are net consumers of value. Why would anyone be motivated to work hard or achieve upward mobility when the socialists will just give my hard earned money away to people who don't work? For that reason, I prefer the right's version which is free market, where yea I have to fend for myself, but at least I spend money more wisely than the government does.

PS: I live in NYC and about 500,000 midwestern liberal transplants just voted in our doom.

>Do you think businesses align with the left to support them
The thing you need to understand is that we are in a post-capitalist economy and society. The effect of things like the amount of net profit the company is earning only have small, if any, effect on the perceived value of a company. The perceived value of a company today is based on speculation about the future value of that company.
The reason so many companies started pandering to the Left and leftist causes so much over the past couple of decades started as an unfounded assumption or meme that eventually became accepted conventional wisdom that younger generations of investors (millennials) would care a lot about the environment and diversity and shit, to the extent that it would be a major factor in how they choose which companies that they would invest in.
So then the conventional wisdom evolved into "the companies which have more pro environmental policies, etc will be more appealing to younger investors, and more investors wanting to invest in a company causes the price of shares to increase, therefore being pro-green will cause a company's value to increase."
This evolved into the creation of ESG scores, where companies were basically rated on how much they supported woke lefty stuff like DEIA, LGBT, green, etc.
This allowed large institutional investors and people managing things like what state employee pension plans invested in, to quantify this "go woke, share price go up" assumption. Even if they didn't really believe in woke shit, they basically had a duty to invest more in something that would cause the line to go up.
Then all the Boards and CEOs of every company started thinking that they needed to go all in on the woke shit, because it would increase the value of the company's shares. Meanwhile, they hire some trans black lesbianx Shaniqua consultant who would lecture them about how if they don't go full CRT DEIA BLM LGBT batshit crazy, the company will immediately fail.

You don't personally spend money on vital infrastructure that's of benefit to you and everyone else in society. That's only really the government that can do that.
Even the money that's payed to people that don't work, still goes back into the economy and circulates and goes in to your pocket whenever they buy goods and services in the economy. The ones that sell these goods and services will then receive money that those poor or lazy or sick people would otherwise not have had in their hands to spend into the economy. But such a model would only be truly fair if everyone got free money from the government aka UBI. This way there wouldn't be a sentiment gap between staying on welfare and having a job.
UBI would stimulate the economy like no one can imagine. It would set us all free from oppressive working conditions and toxic dependent relationships, and it would allow people to take a break from stress and so on when they need it, increasing health and wellbeing, and from that comes an increase in productivity and better community and social life. It also creates better social mobility. It's basically 'fuck you money' enabling you to require decent working conditions from your employer.
