Senate Rejects Modern Monetary Theory: Warning Against High Inflation and Debt.

The Senate resolution states that adopting Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) would be irresponsible and dangerous, leading directly to higher government deficits and significant inflation. For citizens, this means a risk of rapidly rising prices (hyperinflation) and potential future necessity for unpopular measures like tax increases or cuts to public spending to stabilize the economy. The resolution calls for adherence to mainstream fiscal and monetary policies.
Key points
The Senate recognizes that MMT poses a clear danger to the economy, potentially eroding the value of personal savings through high inflation.
Rejecting MMT aims to maintain the independence of the Federal Reserve, ensuring it can focus on keeping prices stable rather than financing government debt.
