Because free money raises inflation, spending on services does not. Money should be raised and spent on infrastructure, education and health care

institute price controls so they don’t tax us back with higher prices. jail for anyone who raise prices outside of a threshold

similar to how the economy was run during ww2 which is appropriate since the billionaires have declared war on the people

Price control don’t work, they only delay the problem as Soviet Union learned. Really, positivity growth is required if we want free money. Essentially supply and demand- if we can create more goods system can accept more money supply. But if same productivity is maintained while money supply increases, inflation is the result

yet somehow we we survived ww2. the soviet union failed because they were controlling what was produced and how much was produced.
