The theme seems to be “reduce operating spending, increase capital spending”. We’ll see how that will blow over with the opposition.
I am pointing to Tankus’ blog because he outlines the things Krugman has said.
Second: would you have not issued CERB and had millions lose housing? Or would you issue CERB and accept some inflationary pressure (keeping in mind that much of the inflation was gouging and supply chain issues)? You had made a blanket statement “issuing currency is drinking bleach” and I gave one of many possible examples for why that is a ridiculous statement.
And in terms of your arrogance around understanding what you’re talking about:
“Taxes fund services” is flat out wrong from a MMT perspective, quite literally it is the most fundamentally wrong thing one could say about it as an economic framework, so I suggest you develop a better understanding of the thing you claim to understand the critiques of. Or perhaps read critiques from those who actually understand it.

Are you trolling? It’s that or this is the dumbest thing I’ve read in years.
On the off chance you really don’t understand what you’re talking about, yes, taxes can be used as a disinflationary tool (with a million caveats, hence the silliness of MMT) but they also fund services. Unless, I dunno, you think the 300,000+ federal civil service are actually volunteers or something.
Maybe ask your teacher or parents to help explain? Hell, even an LLM.
