This is the actual operational reality between the Government of India and the #RBI. Government spending comes first operationally; reserves are created through settlement, and taxes and bond issuance function afterward as reserve-management operations. None of this means “money printing,” nor does it imply that taxes are unnecessary. The entire mythology of “taxpayer-funded spending” and fear-mongering about “printing money” exists to conceal this reality from the public. These narratives are carefully manufactured to make the sovereign Government of India appear financially constrained like a poor household, so that austerity, unemployment, underutilized productive capacity, and attacks on public spending can always be politically justified. #LearnMMT

“Normalize Israel ties” means, — you must agree with Israel. Even if there is a deal with #Iran, you still have to make one with Israel. That means you have to promise that no matter what Israel does, whether storming into your home, seizing your land, or violating your sovereignty, you will not strike back.

Two years ago 57 Muslim countries came together and stated they would immediately recognize Israel AND guarantee its security if Israel agrees to a two-state solution. Israel refused.

Netanyahu understands that a US -Iran deal would land him in prison, so he needs perpetual war. Whether it’s #Hezbollah, Hamas, or the Houthis, the fighting must never stop, giving them a constant excuse to evade justice. Even if every Arab nation, Pakistan, and Turkey signed the Abraham Accords tomorrow, Netanyahu would still manufacture a pretext to strike any of them. Nothing short of absolute accountability will silence his hunger for conflict. #Iran

People forget that zionism in Palestine started with a mixture of religious jewish zionism and left wing socialist jewish zionists and their kibbutzim. It was sold to the West, especially Labour gov in Britain as a socialist success story 🫩 I wish people understood that the Palestinian struggle doesn't care about the Western political scale. Not in Palestine or across the world. The Muslim Palestinian CEO, the Conservative Christian Palestinian banker, the farmer, the social worker etc etc all want their land back together. It is not a factory strike. Or boss vs worker. It is invader vs indigenous. Across the world it is simply a moral decision: right vs wrong.

There was a long, telling tweet. In it, he named #SaudiArabia, #Qatar, #Pakistan, #Turkey, #Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, and Bahrain. And he pointed out that the #UAE and #Bahrain have already signed an agreement. Then he said this should be mandatory, not a matter of belief or choice. It must be absolutely binding for all Arab countries. But it was not just about Arab nations. He also included Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey. And here is why that matters, because Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are talking about forming an Islamic NATO with Saudi Arabia. It is widely believed that this alliance is aimed against Israel. So now, along with Arab states, these three major Muslim powers are being dragged into the same framework. The demand is clear. You must agree with Israel. Even if there is a deal with #Iran, you still have to make one with Israel. That means you have to promise that no matter what Israel does, whether storming into your home, seizing your land, or violating your sovereignty, you will not strike back. Once that agreement is signed, if Israel breaks it, the US will stay silent, just like it does in #Lebanon. But if any of these countries dares to defend itself or reclaim its land, Washington will immediately turn on them, accusing them of breaking the deal. This is the kind of agreement, the kind of deal, the kind of compromise that Israel can violate with impunity. History proves it. Meanwhile, these countries will have their hands tied, their actions constrained, their very ability to resist stripped away. They are expected to keep saluting Israel and sit quietly. If Israel plunders, they are told just to let it happen. #IranWar

If India had a government that actually cared about the real economy, employment, productive capacity, wages, public services, energy security, healthcare, education, and living standards, these demographic numbers would be celebrated as a historic opportunity. A younger population with slowing population growth should mean higher investment per person, better infrastructure, stronger public provisioning, and rising quality of life. But under fundamentally flawed economic thinking, even good news becomes a source of panic. Why? Because Indian policymakers are obsessed with three manufactured scare variables: the trade deficit, the fiscal deficit, and national debt, as if a sovereign currency-issuing government is a helpless household running out of money. Instead of using India’s real resources and young workforce to achieve full employment and massive domestic development, policymakers behave as if the government must first “find money” before improving people’s lives. This obsession with arbitrary accounting numbers has paralysed economic imagination. The real danger to India is not a falling fertility rate; it is an economic framework that deliberately keeps millions underemployed, suppresses domestic demand, worships exports, and treats public spending like a crime while handing endless incentives to corporations and oligarchs. #MMT #Demography

This was never a joke by Lindsey Graham. It was a message delivered on behalf of Netanyahu to #Trump. That is how this system works: whatever Israel fails to achieve on the battlefield, Washington tries to impose through pressure, coercion, and negotiations. And the reality is clear: Israel has failed to achieve even a single major objective it set before this war. Instead of projecting strength, it has exposed its own limits and suffered massive losses. The fantasy was that once #Iran was crushed, the rest of the Arab world would fall in line, surrender, and accept Israeli domination across the #MiddleEast. That fantasy collapsed. Now the same agenda is being repackaged through the #AbrahamAccords. dressed up as “normalization,” but in reality, demanding that Arab countries submit politically, economically, and strategically to Israeli power. What could not be achieved through war is now being pushed through diplomatic blackmail and #US pressure. #IranWar

@dandolfa I'd cut the policy rate to 0 and focus on bank regulation etc. ;)

Probably the most shameless government in the history of india.

@DavidMcNab17 Alternatively the public sector can hire as many as they want in the normal course of public sector hiring. The paychecks checks won't bounce.

@barua_82 It's a regressive tax paid to a government that doesn't need the money…

Student loans are a financial trap against the masses! Mainstream economics is nothing but a plan to keep the masses in permanent precarity through unemployment, underemployment, inflation, and indebtedness!

BREAKING: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has shot down a US MQ-9 drone and fired at a fighter jet that entered Iranian airspace. 🔴 More on Aljazeera.com

@JohnWight1 👇she knew where money comes from. She knew currency sovereignty was important. She kept the UK out of the Euro.
