# ‘Finding the Money’ Documentary Summary::A love fest review of the "documentary" *Finding the Money* which advocates MMT Clipped from [‘Finding the Money’ The Documentary That Has DC POWER Brokers On Edge - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6QccvybP6I) at 2024-08-25. I left the following comment when I clipped this video The federal government has no more justification for calling itself a "currency issuer" that does a counterfeiter. The government produces nothing. It only intervenes in the market using three basic methods: 1) Taxation - legalized confiscation of peoples property. 2) Borrowing from people who earn money - out bidding more productive uses. 3) Borrowing from banks that create money ex nihilo -- causing distortions in market prices and the misallocation of resources. MMT advocates, using the deficit smokescreen, in taking over number 3. Be very careful of for what you when you defend MMT. It's intellectual fraud. --- # References [[Flaws and Fallacies in MMT]] EEgad - I bought the video...
