Inflation needs managing. MMT agrees. But cutting public services to fight inflation is like stopping a fever by removing the thermometer. Target the actual pressure points, not the spending that holds society together.

A job guarantee gives every willing worker a public option. It doesn't replace private employment. It sets a floor: on wages, on conditions, on what "unemployment" has to mean. That's not radical. That's basic macro.

The EU fiscal rules are political agreements, not economic laws. They can be changed. They have been changed. Treating them as fixed limits on what Europe can afford is a choice, not a fact.

"Where will the money come from?" is the wrong question for a currency-issuing government. The right question: do we have the real resources? Workers, materials, capacity. That's the actual constraint.

Austerity doesn't fix debt. It shrinks the economy that services it. Every euro cut from public investment today is future capacity destroyed. Currency-issuing governments have more room than they're told.

Inflation is a real constraint on spending. But it's not a reason to underfund public services in a recession. Context matters. MMT takes inflation seriously. Austerity just ignores the human cost.

Public investment isn't borrowing from the future. It builds the capacity that makes the future richer. Roads, hospitals, clean energy: these don't become affordable later. They become more expensive.

"We can't afford it" usually means "we've chosen not to spend on it." Currency-issuing governments face real limits: inflation, capacity, resources. Not spreadsheet entries.

A job guarantee isn't charity. It's a macroeconomic tool. It anchors wages, stabilises demand, and puts a real floor under unemployment. Far cheaper than the cost of doing nothing.

EU fiscal rules aren't laws of nature. They're political choices about who gets to decide how public money moves. That distinction matters more than most people realise.
