Thanks for your generosity Darren. :-) It's easy for us all to feel competitive rather than have an impulse to support each other. You are a good example of how we should operate as part of a community.

1. Debt is just a number on a spreadsheet for currency issuing governments. This means that austerity policies are political not anything to do with having a ‘black hole in the finances’. Knowing that you can point it out to others - i.e., people who vote.

1. Tax revenues don't pay for services. All government spending is new money. There can be no tax revenue unless the government has first spent money into the economy.

The UK Government is the monopoly issuer of net new UK pounds.

1. I keep reading critics use the phrase 'MMTers believes that governments can just create more money' - I have to correct this. It's not a belief. For currency issuing government like the US and UK they literally can create infinite amounts of money. It's a fact not a belief.

1. Those in poverty are denied the opportunity to reach their potential; to have healthy, fulfilled, productive lives. The economy misses their creativity, their contribution. Governments, with unlimited finance - let those lives be wasted. Spend to realise that potential.
