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 @randahl 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. 🤓
@Vonskinnback @notsoloud @randahl many countries in the world function this way. This is how the Biden admin managed to get out of the Covid recession before.
The short story is, there are different schools in macro #economics and the dominating one favors the rich, small powerless governments, free markets and is afraid of government deficits. If you like to learn more you can start here: https://youtu.be/TANEzcjNDvc?si=huuKADzDJ_66JlnT
