Thanks. Just recently purchased the DVD and hoping to watch it in the next day or two. Maybe someone needs to send the DOGE 'Director', Elon, a copy. This graduate of economics was recently recently interviewed talking about govt waste and that we should take advantage of this "once in lifetime deregulation and reduction in the size of our govt in America, going BANKRUPT very quickly. To our debt, we are adding trillions of dollars every day that our kids and grandkids are going to have to pay somehow every month. So we have to reduce our spending." Did he fall asleep in class when the professor told him that the Federal Reserve creates money and therefore can't go bankrupt?
I just purchased and watched “Finding the Money” on Apple TV+ — well worth the $13! But I have lots of questions. Is there a forum where I can ask them?
I like to get enriched with this basic economical know how (in germany the basic discussion about the money system is occupied by the bitcoiners - austrian economic school- not by the MMT-ideas, that’s just my individual impression) …!!! Thank you very much for this film.!!!
What I am missing is a more detailed reflection of the question: Why tax paying….?
What are the 1,2,3 or 4 main reasons? Why tax paying, if there are still enough resources not at work…..
Best wishes to all for a better world - from joachim (Berlin)
My comment here is NOT about "Finding the Money"DVD but is about Finding A Way to educate
the general public, everyday gals and guys like me about the basics of MMT and the ISSUER OF MONEY AND USSER OF MONEY.The below is my recent email to the Nation Magazines Editor
FYI -RON SISK
Dear Ms Heuvel,
As a 90 year old average guy , longtime Nation subscriber and supporter here, writing to suggest that the Nation Magazine accept a responsibility to inform/educate/teach the general public about the Modern Monetary Theory "MMT" and the fact our National debt is not catastrophic and a burden on future generations.
BE THE 1ST TO PUT THIS IN THE PUBLIC MIND AND DISCUSSION AT THIS CRITICAL TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
With Trump /Musk already moving toward massive debt reductions,of course,directed toward entitlements seriously impacting the bottom 80% of citizens THE TIME is NOW for the MMT to be broadly known and discussed .!!
May I suggest for starting to consider this, that the Nation contact
Dr.Stephanie Kelton,Professor of Economics at Stony Brook Univ,NY and author of the book "The Deficit Myth" and a key member of the MMT, to plan presentations to understand the difference between the ISSUER of money -USA government --and the Individual, Family, Business, State USER of money.
Best wishes to you and all at the Nation for continued success in 2025 and may God Bless Our Dear USA !!
Sincerely,
Ronald Sisk , 90 years old and greatly concerned about our Democracy for our future generations
Come to Porto, Portugal, please!

I’ve watched it three times. I also bought two copies of your book. Consider me part of team MMT- if you’ll have me 😁
