dot com dr hudson welcome back to program
[103]
thank you very much done
[104]
uh... they're going to have you with us
[106]
um...
[107]
modern monetary theory you
[112]
let's start at the beginning
[113]
uh... why is it the deficits tarpor personal
[117]
uh... who could that be a back your statement
[120]
uh... i'd no mary
[122]
can say that i'm pretty happy anniversary is
[125]
uh... i don't think it would matter but not all that there is
[128]
uh... there was if you have other banks running things uh...
[132]
do ignore uh... ill uh... we do is say is that the austerity is unnecessary
[139]
that uh... deficits
[140]
uh... are unnecessary to borrow up in the backs
[144]
you don't have to have budget cuts
[146]
you don't have to go back to a sturdy because all money whether it's a bank
[151]
money or whether it's government money all monies i've created on a computer
[156]
keyboard electronically now that we don't have a gold standard anymore uh...
[161]
in nineteen seventy one
[163]
when the united states i was finally forced off gold by its military spending
[168]
nobody know what the future monetary system would be
[171]
and it turned out that's out there wasn't any constraint on how much money
[176]
could be created so most money has been created by banks and they created when
[180]
you go into a bank
[181]
you take out a loan
[183]
and without the bank doesn't want no deposit
[186]
but that's just lay it out waste electronico here account
[190]
and then you get to spend it
[192]
and out of the bank and borrow from the federal reserve that that one quarter of
[195]
one percent
[196]
so right now of the bank secretary land deal that money
[200]
and uh... i high rate of interest
[202]
borrowing almost free money from the fed
[204]
the fed can create money to finance the banks they can create money to finance a
[209]
real estate bubble they can create money for the banks to
[212]
uh... make gambles
[214]
why can't they make the same way
[216]
for the government to finance the best well the banks a nano the you have to
[221]
lend us money and let ours finance the government that interest
[224]
uh... and other governments
[226]
could say you know what we say it but they're not there is a ridge when i got
[230]
the job of the central bank
[232]
is the financially government debt
[233]
simply life that's how the united states uh... well fought the civil war
[238]
restrained extradition
[239]
isn't isn't there a lot
[241]
either the verb raise a whole bunch of things here
[244]
first though isn't there a law that says that it who when
[248]
when the federal government issues treasuries
[251]
if the that that
[253]
they have to be
[254]
run through private banks
[257]
in order for the fed to brighten their day some others private banks in between
[261]
the treasury's in effect out france turns out the federal government uh...
[265]
after the bailout in two thousand eight
[268]
but assembly op-art freddiemac alone
[272]
it just said okay we're now leading the list of the government balanchine we'll
[275]
talk a little for five point three
[277]
trillion dollars
[278]
the federal reserve created two trillion dollars worth of
[282]
just free credit
[283]
to get to the backs of the treasury most treasury bills out
[287]
uh... recently reviewed our
[289]
electronically held by foreign governments uh... in exchange for the
[293]
balance of payments deficit
[295]
or they're held by the social security fund there's no out most others no nato
[300]
alter central banks
[302]
to have to borrow from the private banks up
[304]
either here or to anyone
[306]
or japan
[307]
or uh... in any other country was a central bank so
[311]
there's
[313]
we're we're sort of getting in the weeds here but
[315]
but i i i i one understand this more completely
[318]
year suggestions that
[321]
the propriety of personal work am i get my crack team i believe my understanding
[325]
that
[325]
that the that
[326]
private banks are are
[329]
somehow somewhere in the process between howard treasury department and are in
[333]
our support anna and the fat are central bank
[336]
yes
[337]
that that broke the law requires that
[339]
when defend
[341]
it basically invents money in loans it to the you know as his government by
[345]
buying treasuries
[346]
those have to go through
[348]
for-profit banks and the spelunker profit on a transaction well
[352]
and then the rest of the law like that there is not ok book if you pointed out
[356]
before they're talking about about money
[359]
and complexity of liquid you're waiting you're right
[362]
uh... if they're there's so many complexities that even if you and i can
[366]
make it very clear statement if people have been actually worked in the bank
[371]
and work in the field it's very hard for them to understand these words triplet
[375]
so now you're using right now
[377]
uh... we have a website that uh... them
[380]
uh... for monetary uh... mary
[382]
at the university of missouri at kansas senate
[385]
recalled their economic perspectives and everyday
[388]
we wafts through readers
[390]
with this kind of tangle
[392]
of hot apollo uh... go through all of this process it is tired
[397]
and monetary theory attracts a lot of claremont uh... you know i i get that
[401]
ended but very simply just to get the whole central bank thing out of the way
[404]
and and the private bank thing
[406]
uh... really the essential issue here
[409]
is that since seventy blunder seventy three when the globe window closed
[414]
thirty-one right its bid officially start in seven one but it seventy three
[418]
was when i thought they were wrapped up was about
[421]
i thought that i think they want nadine's place except was a cellular on
[426]
as part of a couple years can unwind that i could and they will be dropped
[430]
knifings opted uh... in mid-august
[432]
yet will consider what
[435]
at that point
[437]
look at the
[438]
the only constraint
[441]
uh... legally
[442]
on the federal government
[444]
to create money or the friend
[446]
to create money
[448]
which is not the federal government
[450]
who was
[452]
under a with there was illegal pastry antennas cause i government on the
[456]
federal reserve note
[458]
uh... it used to sit out every federal reserve no intel
[461]
nineteen seventy-one was i had to be back by twenty five percent though right
[467]
supports america's gold reserve back the physical currency that the fed does now
[472]
most money is not really currency most money is bank deposits but the currency
[476]
actually was equitable stock that was one stop
[480]
right but the date is so
[482]
so wat
[483]
uh... and the point i'm making is that the uh... you know the one of the
[487]
argument is made is that
[489]
we could simply you you know right ourselves a check basically or blurb
[494]
meant a trillion dollar coin or whatever means of variety which it is
[497]
or or just put some numbers in the computer
[500]
and and bring this country to full employment
[504]
without creating inflation
[507]
via this process of monet's monarch monarch monetary theory
[511]
so an eight-state right
[514]
yet
[514]
and and and the reason why is because
[518]
the sole arbiter of what's going on with the nation's currency is the nation
[524]
so how did the banks getting stuff
[527]
we just a minute left
[528]
really only by lobbying only by telling by abetting politicians
[533]
who agree
[535]
uh... not to use the central bank
[537]
develop over the country out of depression but he is the central bank
[541]
are basically to give the bunny
[543]
to the commercial banks
[544]
to wall street that's out that the money that's been created is not going to
[549]
employ americans isbn employed on the bank bailout reduced band played on the
[554]
bank giveaways
[555]
now if the government can create planning
[560]
the p_l_o_ also required to spend money on the real economy employing people
[566]
that makes perfect sense
[567]
on doctor michael hudson president he has to consider a long-term economic
[571]
trends the author trade development and foreign debt and the bubble and beyond
[574]
what said michael batch
[577]
