IIRC there were quite a few Sanders' staffers who were also "monetary realists" and advocated "sovereign monetary policy."peepee » 17 May 2020, 6:58 am » wrote: ↑ .....steve zarlenga called himself a socialist and his favorite politician was dennis kucinich..

Where I might have disagreed with them is on how much money should be "printed" by the government under this theoretical new framework.
I would like to see close to 0% inflation (actual inflation, not the **** figures put out by the BLS that claim 2% inflation when actual inflation is running at 4-5%), but Sanders' staffers are to the left of me and would probably embark on a huge spending spree with the digital printing presses.
It just goes to show that even if you take away the bankers' "unholy and demonic" powers, nirvana isn't waiting on the other side.
Edit: Ah yes, I remember Alan Grayson. He was a liberal firebrand but ultimately got nothing done. He also criticized Obamacare for being a "corporate insurance giveaway" (true) but then voted for it anyways.
Oh well, sounds like typical American politics.
