Steve Woods<p>"The key difference between the state and a household is that the state has the means to create money. In this sense, unlike a household, it can never run out of money or go bankrupt. Indeed, as the economy requires ever increasing amounts of money to be in circulation, one of the state’s central roles in the modern economy is to create more money and put it into circulation, which it does in part by expanding public debt."</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>austerity</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/economy/the-false-economies-of-austerity/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">northwestbylines.co.uk/politic</span><span class="invisible">s/economy/the-false-economies-of-austerity/</span></a></p>

SPQR<p>The gap between the haves and have-nots is growing. Instead of using its taxing and spending powers to reverse this trend, the federal government is planning to indiscriminately cut government programs, showing little regard for public servants and average Canadians. Inequality will worsen as a result, making Canada look more like the neighbour we have a beef with, not less. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inequality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MiddleClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiddleClass</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>austerity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LPC</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/income-inequality-reached-a-new-high-heres-why-ottawas-doge-style-cuts-will-only-make/article_1d9b8ac3-faf5-467c-899a-2b20ed018a4a.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thestar.com/opinion/contributo</span><span class="invisible">rs/income-inequality-reached-a-new-high-heres-why-ottawas-doge-style-cuts-will-only-make/article_1d9b8ac3-faf5-467c-899a-2b20ed018a4a.html</span></a></p>
