That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Start here. Understanding how the modern monetary system works is the first step to demand nice things. Stephanie Keltons was Bernie’s economic advisor. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Had issues with grad school economics in late 1980s. Just went on with life. Later realized it’s neoliberal economics Chicago School of economics with Milton Friedman as guru. It’s all BS. I read Stephanie Kelton’s book. Changed my life. It all makes sense. 2211
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 18/07/2026The reality of it that if the trust fund were depleted, Congress just needs to pass legislation to fund. Gotta understand how modern monetary systems work. 010
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Maybe he should review history and FDR’s policies. 101
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Unfettered capitalism only works for the oligarchs. They fear socialism because it’s fair. Instead of fed money going to oligarchs, Socialism invests in people and the country. Stop with the scary words. Time for your Republican tax cuts to come to an end. 0110
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Actually money is created when Congress appropriates money & the Fed spends. Technically the gov’t cannot run out of money. Government always finds money to spend on wars, right? Funny how Trump said gov’t can’t pay for social services because it’s paying for wars. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Even if we did not pay into it, we earned Social Security because Congress passed the Social Security Act of 1935 We are entitled to it. Was in separate trust to pass Congress & be protected. Fed can & is obligated to fund as gov’t can’t run out of money. 030
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Yes. Agreed. Government: to provide for the security, safety, welfare of its people Business: profits at any cost. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Thatcher, Reagan, and the Neoliberals brainwashed society to think being poor is lazy. Gov’t should not provide. Not true. Most poverty is a failure of gov’t not doing its purpose which is to ensure the safety & welfare of its people. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Thatcher & Reagan were champions of the Neoliberal economic policies of small gov’t, deregulation, laissez-faire. Understanding modern money means to understand these lies. A sovereign fed gov’t can’t run out of money; it’s created as it is spent, destroyed being taxed. 010
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 21/05/2026WTAF? At first I thought the person standing next to Toddler-in-Chief was a pregnant woman ready to deliver with the bellybutton sticking out. Nope 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Start here. Just understanding basically how modern money and the state works gives you power to demand nice things. It’s the state (fed) obligation. Oh, taxes don’t “pay for” stuff. It creates demand for the currency. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Oh my! Trump is a day trader now. Guess being dictator of America grifting off the U.S. Treasury doesn’t pay enough. 020
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 15/05/2026President Xi is 5’11” Trump says he’s 6’3” Obama is 6’2” Do we believe our eyes? 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 06/05/2026The only way we can economically get back on track and create the middle class prosperity like 1940-1960s is to adopt progressive policies. Yes, that time left many out but because of those policies the middle class grew and wealth gap was under control. 100
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 04/05/2026She spoke to our Dem group last year. As a guest speaker gift, I make cookies. Small world. Good book. 1150
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Trump post prior to event. Sounds like a distraction from the distraction that would eventually lead to finishing the ballroom that originally cost $150 million now expected to cost $400 million +. When does he start on the taxpayer funded one in FL? 030
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I copied, printed, posted in my kitchen so every morning I see it. 151
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Yep. Let’s start with understand how the monetary system really works and that we can “afford” nice things. 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Used book stores are great. Try putting these on your reading list: 000
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Through space exploration many innovations have been created. Budget for space is minuscule compared to other expenditures. Scientific research is conducted in space that aids medical research. We can afford research & funding social services 152
That Cookie Lady @cookiebkr.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Start here understanding how modern monetary systems work and the role of government to rein in capitalism 000
