>>" People aren't interested in MMT because it is a neat model; but because if we use that model then it becomes very hard to explain that policies are wasteful uses of time and stuff. It is very easy to make a taxpayer understand why government waste is bad. Quite hard to make people take an interest when nobody knows if they are net givers or takers"

> So, basically, what you are saying is "let's lie to people" so we can have a smaller government.

That is not at all what roenxi is saying. That is what roenxi is saying MMT is saying, except for the "smaller government" part.

It also is you putting (incorrect) words in someone else's mouth, which is very much not cool.

It is also coming somewhat close to a personal attack (since many of us consider lying to be immoral), which is against site guidelines.

It was not my intention to attack anybody but, what roenxi is saying is that, people interested in MMT (like me), is not interested in understanding how the system work, but in lying to people. So, yes, very much not cool.
