seoguruon Why Were Economists as a Group as Useless Over 2010-2014 as Over 1929-1935?

what is "real money" to you? Fiat currency is real money to me. It's the only thing I can pay my taxes with.

seoguruon Why Were Economists as a Group as Useless Over 2010-2014 as Over 1929-1935?

Where has deficit spending brought growth?

WW2 would be a good example: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/08/mobilization-and-...

And just imagine if we did the same thing, except instead of building weapons, we invested in healthcare, education, renewable energy, etc.

Once you understand the money system, you understand that we are drastically under performing compared to our potential because our citizens and politicians have a backwards understanding of our money. reminds me of a great little clip by Alan Watts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-JMHiaYIiU

seoguruon Why we should all have a basic income

yes. which is why the UBI has been called an unholy alliance or trojan horse.
