American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.
Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.
Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.
@randahl be aware that #tax dollars financing a government like the US is a wide spread misconception about how fiat money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) works. They do not use tax dollars for this otherwise ludicrous propaganda shit show 🤪.
I am wondering who is not being taken care of there. What is the #healthcare system like on #Greenland? No doubt it’s better than what #US citizens have.

Well yeah, but try to fund a well sized government only by printing money. Hello inflation.
If you want more expeditionary hospital ships, one way or another you'll have to tax more.
@notsoloud @markus_falk @randahl
and this is what trump wants to do, once he ousts Powell from the Federal Reserve.
Inflation is a sort of tax (a regressive tax that hits mostly the poorer workers)
@[email protected] @[email protected] that is part of the misconception. Inflation is not directly linked to creating money. It only rises if the spending power can not be met by what a market can provide. So as long as there is enough supply in hospital ships, inflation remains low. Also, raising taxes removes that money from the system and then it’s gone. You literally cannot spend tax dollars. 🤓
