[lbo-talk] Money

[Steve Bruns]

I'm having trouble parsing the fundamental difference between Brad  
Delong's $500B platinum coin, Bernanke's "computer keystroke" funding  
of QE 1, 2 and soon to be 3 and the Chartalist/MMT concept of money =  
points.  Doesn't this put to rest the notion that Treasury needs to  
borrow funds to deficit spend - other than the statutory requirement,  
of couse?  Could someone point me to a clarification?
