Pot meet kettle…
My apologies.
I don’t understand this question.
Who? The taxpayer? From exchange, if I understand your question.
I don’t think you understand money. A quick google search would provide you with resources from which you can gain at least a little understanding. Here is a link that may answer some of your questions, as they relate to the U.S.: 8 Things You May Not Know About American Money | HISTORY
Just another stupid comment w/o refuting the question. Brilliant!
So where did the money come from?
Another deflection. Aren’t you embarrassed for not answering questions and hiding behind stupid comments?
Nope. I explained my point fine well up thread.
I will no suffer fools.
You have yet to address the very foundational question. Where does the money come from?
This has been answered for you many times in this thread.
No it has not. Prove me wrong!
This is one of the most unique threads I have ever read. The “life” it has is fueled by the sole interest of boosting the ego of someone who has no life apart his war as a proponent of Modern Monetary Theory.
The label “moron” was introduced as a counter point in a post. As I see it, in this thread, a “moron” would be anyone envious of @castoli

Just trying to spread the truth to those who’ve been blinded by propaganda.
Please allow me to throw out a little wisdom from someone in their 8th decade on this crazy world.
“He who is convinced against his will,
Is of the same opinion still.”
Maybe it’s time to cut bait.
And. “They who have put out the people’s eyes reproach them of their blindness.” - John Milton.
So… you clearly don’t mind fishing and catching nothing.
With that in mind, for argument’s sake (which is obviously your breath of life), what if you convinced all of us the benefits of embracing MMT, how would it benefit anyone of our lives?
What might embracing that do to improve my life?
For that matter, how has it improved your life? Might you be able to accept Government handouts without guilt?
If you can’t sell the benefits, why would we feel compelled to buy in? What is your sales pitch? As in, What’s in it for me?
You would know when the politicians are lying to you and that could change your voting strategy. It would help to keep politicians more honest.
You wouldn’t be worrying about the debt, medicare going broke or SS. And once again you would know politicians are lying or willfully ignorant. Now in either scenario, why would you want someone crafting policy when their known ignorance or blatant lying is apparent. And they do it all to have power over you and for them and their donors to financially on your back.
Improvement on my life? They can’t lie to me any more and because of that I’m a more free person than before. Truth has been more revealed to me and I have more of an understanding of how and why the country is run like it is.
My sales pitch? I’m not trying to sell anything. A true understanding of how the monetary system works along with the benefits of knowing that is enough.
What’s in it for you? Do you not like the truth or do you just like the version that is being told to you?

Well, for one thing, I am not voting for any godless Liberal, Demoncrat, or progressive regardless of how Government finances function.
My life will only change if our financial system crashes. I get absolutely no government financial benefits. Granted Government allows me to receive services that are available to all, regardless of their financial situation.
BTW, I don’t worry about debt, because there is nothing I can do about it.

@castoli if the government printing unlimited currency doesn’t cause inflation, then how does raising interest rates help curb it? What are your solutions for curbing it? You said it’s a supply issue, not a currency issue. How would you address that?
It will either carry on indefinitely or come to a screeching halt (as did most “advanced” civilizations in the past).

That depends on which money you’re talking about. I’m going to go ahead and state that it has never come from government spending it into the economy, though.
