The debt service total has an impact on nominal demand and income and wealth but hey its all tcontrollable by taxation
The state can tax away anything
Of course not without consequences
But Lerner's point about
Interest paid on borrowed funds
Is only part of a complete set of circuits
The rest of the circuits can be change too
It's all just a set of rules the state can play anyway it wants nothing costly here
Rentier income balloons
Increase taxes on interest
And dividend income
Cut off the blood supply to capitalist corporations force them to use state finance
State loans below state borrowing costs
State red ink
So what
Public option for rentiers
Treasury paper with a high
Coupon rate is cost less to produce
It's all notions in a data base
Crowding out as a means to socialization of capital
Don't starve the rentiers
Stuff them with high yield t bills notes and bonds
Blow up private capital markets with high safe returns on treasury paper
