saying that if i have faith i would know it works differently and the guys at the fed could show me. first off no one is asking you to believe anything. I don't care if you believe in MMT or not. As Warren said, faith has NOTHING to do with any of this. Your faith will not "reveal" anything to you about MMT. This is not church and God does not reign here eternally. I don't even know how faith is a part of this really...but I THINK I understand why you are talking about faith as I will show below. What I am saying about you going to the Fed to see for yourself is attempting to address your faith concern as I see it. I haven't been the Fed and I haven't seen them mark up spreadsheets, so based on that fact, I guess you could say that I don't "KNOW" for a FACT that they are doing things that way operationally speaking. So in that sense you could say that I do have "faith" that is what's happening. So therein lies the "faith" issue I THINK you are struggling with so much, which is why I suggested you go to the Fed and see if you can literally watch them do it yourself. At the same time however I am sure that airplanes are flying in the air right now even though I can't see them with my eyes or hear them or sense them in anyway...but
