Technically speaking there's roi on those investments. Not to mention the preservation of our allies leads to a much higher global trade capital. We're also not spending 60 billion in liquidity. We're loaning 60 billion of existing equipment. I'm not sure you grasp this concept.

I don't consider getting thousands of people killed a good investment. Besides all that equipment needs to then be delivered and backfilled, and that costs money. I also don't buy the increase to global trade since the US sanctioned the shit out of Russia, and Ukraine's workforce is depleted.

Incorrect on all fronts. Taxation is the confiscation of money through coercion; therefore theft. A money has value because it is recognized by the market as a reliable medium of exchange. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon where there are too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Can't force someone to see reason if they don't want to. I think cult deprogrammers advice works here too: don't attack them, ask genuine, good-faith questions and make it clear that if they change their mind you will not mock them. Support them in asking their own questions and give an off ramp.

I feel you. My above advice is mostly for how to treat those close to us: family members, friends, coworkers, etc. It definitely doesn't apply to society at large. Also, importantly, it's only good if you're in a healthy position to do so. If interacting with someone would harm you, don't do it.

Yes deflation is worse but that doesn't mean we should let inflation run rampant. MMT is based on the flawed idea that money printing can be done wisely by omniscient govt bureaucrats so that inflation does not run rampant. If you believe that, you are dangerously naive.

It ALWAYS goes up far more under Republicans. Then, when a Democrat takes the White House, the deficit is ALWAYS reduced. Biden reduced the deficit by $1.9 trillion. Now tell me again what a bad president he's been.
