It’s important for elected officials to engage people in the political process. Ideally, this is through live listening events where members of different communities get to talk about how policy affects their lives. COVID-19 made that impossible, so Anna invited members of the community and experts to join her on Solidarity LIVE to engage in the discussion of problems and solutions for our community.

Solidarity LIVE! National debt and MMT: Why we CAN afford social programs, with Fadhel Kaboub – Incorruptible Massachusetts
Opposition to progressive programs such as Medicare For All or free college tuition generally involve the rhetorical "who's going to pay for it?" and complaints about increased taxes and deficits. But what if conventional economics is wrong about government spending, debt, and taxation? Modern Monetary Theory explains why taxes *aren't* what fund U.S. Federal Government programs, how money is actually created by government spending, why deficits don't matter in the way folks commonly think, and other reasons why we *can* have Medicare For All, free college tuition, etc., without necessarily raising taxes or deficits. Fadhel Kaboub, associate professor of economics at Denison University and President of the Global Institute For Sustainable Prosperity, explains.This is the audio portion of the Solidarity LIVE! interview streamed live on YouTube on October 8, 2020.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/incorruptible_massachusetts)
