@ Mark Russell,
Thank you, but this blog by economics professor, Bill Mitchell, is a far better MMT resource for you than I could ever be: http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/
Apologies to Craig – I didn’t mean to hijack the blog post, but this issue is so fundamental to economic justice, that I felt unable to leave the reference to “tax paying for health services” unchallenged.
It would be great to see Craig “on board” with MMT generally, but it can additionally provide vital knowledge with regard to issues of currency sovereignty, post-Scottish Independence .
