We return to the MMT basics, because the MMT understanding of money is about the only factual argument that can counter the DOGE mentality. Factual argument alone cannot withstand the powerful drivers of oligarchy, but MMT neutralises one of their main weapons -- the "deficit myth". MMT reveals that the DOGE slashing of government services to "save" our "taxpayer money" is ideological bunkum.
