'Is this for real?' A college is actually paying this person to teach economics and this is why we can't have nice things

Elizabeth Warren is willing to risk skyrocketing tuition fees if it means colleges can keep paying professors like Stony Brook University’s Stephanie Kelton to teach our future leaders how economics work:

The carpenter can’t run out of inches
The stadium can’t run out of points
The airline can’t run out of FF miles
And the USA can’t run out of dollars

Let’s get real: that’s some rock-solid logic, right there.

I don't know if this is satire, a joke or for real ?

Oh, don’t worry. She’s for real.

That’s how this works, right?

This is active nonsense

Hold on … she might be onto something:

Then why have taxes?

— Marc Rybyn (@RybynM) April 24, 2019

Then why tax people if you can just print money?

— Rob Solo (@robsolo) April 24, 2019

Great question!

There’s no reason to tax anyone if money is unlimited.

Makes sense to us.

Holy hell. “Professor of Economics.” Amazeballs.
