Since the U.S. government is both sovereign in its own currency and the sole issuer of dollars, it can never run out of them.

Just ask Zimbabwe.

Wow.  So much failure to understand the basics of economics.  Unbelievable.

The mantra that “the budget must be balanced” is a throwback to the 19th century, originating from the same outmoded economic thinking that justifies women’s lower wages.

Can you say, "Non sequitur?"  Sure, I knew that you could.

In fact decent societies don’t “cost too much.” The real problem is that our government, held hostage by right-wing extremists, won’t spend enough.

Held hostage?  With what?  Actual physical threats of violence?  A majority of seats in Congress?  The White House?

Technically, they should.  If there weren't a genuine threat from wackos, then the sane folk of the world get complacent.
