Vambo Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Varney slams progressives' plans to 'print money' to pay for government programs "What do you mean we can't afford Medicare for all or the Green New Deal? Why don't we just print the trillion dollars we need? Welcome to the progressives new way of paying for everything," said Varney on Fox Nation's "My Take." "Just fire up the printing press, it's the new economics. After all, only the government can create money, so just create what you need....why not," he said. Democratic presidential frontrunner Elizabeth Warren has long supported the idea of "rethinking financial accounting" in the United States, and Varney believes this would mean printing new money to support her proposed programs. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez echoed a similar sentiment, saying earlier this year that the government need not worry about how to pay for her Green New Deal because the United States "printed billions to bail out the banks in the financial crisis," and could do it again. This Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backed theory can become a 'major problem' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except of course for the Confederate Money my thievin' Yankee relatives gave me that are framed now and in my library. They are worth far more than the face value printed on them and God knows the Confederacy printed a lot of it. I can get more in gold for them now than I can the current US $. The south has risen again! LOL!🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
