Yes, Deficit Myth left me in awe; thank you. Nothing will ever be the same. But I have to say, I'm a visual learner, it was this J. D. Alt video that really let the Deficit Myth thoughts gel for me:
This looks like a phenomenal course. Had I had a course like that 40 years ago, I would have joyfully enrolled. Congratulations on the work you are doing. MMT is definitely the wave of the future. May more people wake up to its benefits. Laurie Hyland

Thank you for helping to educate me and the rest of the world on this topic.

Why doesn’t someone install a Treasury Security Clock next to the National Debt Clock in New York? It could start a conversation.
