minus-squarekillingspark@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 个月前Well, yeah, but because they don’t want to increase monetary supply to keep inflation in check they need to tax you to fund their programs
minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 个月前They do increase the monetary supply though, in 2008 it was .9 trillion, in 2020 it was 6.4T, and now it’s 5.6T. Turns out inflation doesn’t quite work the way most economics courses teach. That may be related to the way billionaires fund a lot of university’s economics departments.
