I find it hard to differentiate between wealth and the power it confers. Assets = ownership rights, control. & Most basically, one with more assets can outbid one with less. "Can we (quickly)?" is a political question. The past half-century gives a depressing answer. The previous half-century, QTC.

The fiscal rule cage is self-imposed. A currency-issuer fretting over "borrowing" is like a chef worried about running out of cooking. The constraint is inflation and real resources, not a spreadsheet rule designed to starve public investment. #MMT #Economics #UKPolitics #UKEconomics

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

Breaking News: Trump officials are moving to open nearly 45 million acres of wilderness in national forests to new roads and logging, removing protections that had been in place since 2001.
