I liked her economic deconstruction of the popular narrative that governments can only spend what they tax or borrow and are too poor to help people. It’s clearly a lot more nuanced than that.
“The reality is that every single dollar the federal government spends is a newly created dollar. Taxes don’t pay for government spending.”
