I'm getting sick and tired of other podcasters using clips fron my old interviews without crediting me. Two uses I found by accident this week: one from the BBC.

I was the one who got the interview. The least you can do is fucking credit me.

I credit EVERYONE. That's the whole point of journalism, isn't it? To provide sources so people can follow the breadcrumbs.

And that’s only a minuscule sampling. More obscure agencies, such as the recently gutted #CFPB, keep records of corporate trade secrets, #credit reports, #mortgage info, & other sensitive #data, including lists of people who have fallen on financial hardship.

A fragile combination of decades-old laws, norms, & jungly bureaucracy has so far prevented repositories such as these from assembling into a centralized American #surveillance state.

Le solde négatif du Trésor d'un État national est la masse monétaire. Pour rembourser la « dette » publique, il faudrait vider tous les comptes bancaires :

Un marché obligataire ne fonctionne pas pour financer un gouvernement national. Par l'octroi de réserves ou d'argent contre des "obligations" (une dette), la masse monétaire est réduite en contrepartie d'un flux d'intérêts.

Autrement dit, les banques échangent leurs réserves contre des avoirs porteurs d'intérêts. Ensuite elles peuvent vendre ces obligations contre des liquidités.

“The U.S. government is not like a household. It is the issuer of the currency. It doesn’t need to ‘get’ money from anyone else—not from taxpayers, not from China.”

– Stephanie Kelton (economist, former US Senate Budget Committee Chief Economist)

Is borrowing a burden on future generations?
No, it's not: if the borrower is a nation-state, then no person (children or taxpayers) will be asked to repay.

“Paying off the debt” is just the sovereign swapping Treasury securities (savings) for cash. No burden is passed on to persons.

L'emprunt public est-il un fardeau pour les générations futures ?
Non, ce n'est pas le cas : si l'emprunteur est un État, personne (enfant ou contribuable) ne sera appelé à rembourser.

Le « remboursement de la dette » consiste simplement pour l'État à échanger des titres du Trésor contre de l'argent liquide. Aucune dette n'est transmise aux personnes.
