    Why do you keep saying "magic"?

    It literally just describes the fiat money system

    If people did MMT magic with the USD

    But this is the point

    It's not IF

    Whenever the sovereign spends money is created

    You literally wouldn't be able to use any kind of fiat currency if it wasn't spent into existence before

    This is especially clear during deficit spending. The monetary sovereign literally creates money out of nowhere.

    If you think this is magic, then how do you think you type your comments? There is no storage of alphanumerical characters I draw from to write this comment. It simply comes from "nowhere" when I hit a key.
