Stephanie Kelton writes, "Based on my own interactions with lawmakers on the Hill, I would estimate that roughly one-third of Congress is now MMT conversant."

How do we raise that ratio from one-third to at least one-half? Do we send every member of Congress a copy of The Deficit Myth? Should we develop a district-by-district campaign to educate Congress members and their staff? Should we develop a scoreboard (http://lerner-minsky.org/resources/functional-finance-scoreboard.pdf) to rate Congress members on their MMT-conversancy?
