To be told now that it was only after MMT that we realized that deficits could be OK is annoying; and if the only way to make that argument is to dredge through decades of writing to find something wrong I once said, that's a de facto confession of intellectual bankruptcy 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

I'd suggest that there are actually two levels: folk beliefs about the economy — like the household budget analogy — and folk beliefs about what economic theory says, which are often pretty much the whole basis for heterodox schools of thought 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
