>>"I think you are technically correct and missing the point."
Yes, you are right - and that is partly on purpose - I really want people to understand MMT - because with MMT, one can do ALL the things you mentioned above (Infrastructure, Social Security, public education, healthcare, the minimum wage and more) WITHOUT, repeat WITHOUT taking anything away from some other area (i.e. with MMT, it is NOT a Zero-Sum game wherein someone needs to lose for someone else to win). With MMT, there is a possibility for EVERYONE to benefit, not just SOME people. (Ofcourse, this only applies to countries that have control over their sovereign currencies - and it only applies at the FEDERAL level, not the state or local levels).
