Since the currency has no intrinsic value. Value must be created so the dollar is in demand for a tax liability and that creates value. It is the only thing accepted for taxes.

Yep, more drivel from the progenitor of MMT and an Austrian economist professor.

You have this correct.

I work for a DoD contractor. It is the essence inefficiency.

Per certain contracts, contractors are required to rebid certain parts out every year or two. One time all of a sudden a part that was working fine starting malfunctioning regularly. This wasn’t a complicated part. As I investigated what happened, turns out the supplier was changed to save 5 cents per part. There are 2 on each end product that is built at a rate of about 15 per year. Then they paid me 2 days worth of engineering salary to troubleshoot the issue. In the end spending more money.

You know that line in Independence Day when the guy goes ā€œYou don’t think they spend $10,000 on a toilet seat do you?ā€ā€¦if the public only knew…

I’ve seen an invoice with a $50 1/4 inch Nylon washer. One washer.

A quick google search can find them at $4.12 for a pack of 100.

Look at what they are paying for the new Sig Spear, which is just a modified Sig MCX in a new caliber…

And with tax payer money - so nice of them.

Let us be honest - we know where a good portion of the money is going. To their pockets and their friends pockets.

Ie cycloneengineers pockets.

A portion of govt waste on infrastructure spending goes into my pockets.

And, the world goes round.

Until it doesn’t.

I wish. It got really weird when I realized that the taxes I pay partially pay my salary…

The higher you rise in your company, the bigger your ā€œtax breakā€ will be haha.
