Right after I typed that, I saw this one--a great example of use of fiscal policy to sustain the myth of American equality:

GOP Senator Who Egged On Insurrectionists Introduces Bill About Loving America 

Josh Hawley’s legislation isn’t even about patriotism. It’s about pandering and whitewashing American history. 

 

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) — perhaps best known as the U.S. senator who raised his fist in solidarity before a mob of white supremacists and Donald Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to stop Joe Biden from being certified as president — introduced a bill on Monday that he says is about promoting people’s love of America. 

 

The Love America Act would “promote patriotism in education” by not allowing federal money to go to any public schools that teach students about how white supremacy or racism played a role in the founding the United States. It would also require schools that receive federal dollars to ensure that students can read and recite portions of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance at certain grade levels.

Hi Randy,

I hope you are well. Attached is a Page 1 piece from today's Boston Globe that describes the political "sausage-making" that is sometimes necessary for fiscal policymaking.

A pretty good piece on MMT and the progress made: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-23/modern-monetary-theory-embrace-of-big-budget-deficits-doesn-t-mean-mmt-has-won?sref=VvJhl47t 

Question: I'm teaching a new class that will include study of the Biden plan and the fight in Congress to get it through. Does anyone have recommendations for readings on analysis of his plans and also on how reconciliation can be used to push it through. Of course, we'll be doing this in "real time" so will need to continually adjust and add new readings, so would appreciate it if you send along anything good that you find over the next few months. But I'm doing the tentative syllabus now.
Thanks much
