Say something! Don't just assign reading.
I didn't realize you had trouble reading articles written in English. I'll try to keep it as simple and short as I can for you:
Sorry, I didn't realize you had trouble reading articles written in English and not written in Canadian. I'll try to keep it as simple and short as I can for you due to the language barrier. Connecticut is going under due to liberal economic policies. I must point out, however, that whether I post a link or "say something", you are going to have to read one way or the other. I suggest it might be easier for you if you were to buy an English/Canadian dictionary.
Make an effort. Tell me what this is about, maybe tell me what you think of it.
As it is, I don't see any reason for me to open your link, much less comment on it.
Then don't open it. I could care less if you read it or not. It's a free country.
modern monetary theory is valid
This link provides the definitive answer to this controversy. And whether I post a link or "say something," you are going to have to read one way or the other.
You 'could care less'?
Maybe I need an English/American dictionary. Everyone else in the world couldn't care less.
I never offered up a search engine. Your search results just talk about MMT, not necessarily that it is valid. I offered up direct evidence and papers from economists and other experts in the field who find MMT flawed, and there are many more of them than those who believe in MMT, many more.

This paper sums it up nicely (at least, I think it does, I've only gotten thru about 8 pages so far, but so far it sounds pretty reasonable). Let me know when you have gotten thru all 50-ish pages and get back to me and tell me what you think is flawed about this paper.

The article uses the sad tactic of assuming correlation equals causation. While I agree that there most likely is a connection between the income tax and some of Connecticut's financial woes, the article does nothing to connect those dots and relies on making statements that are based on the conclusion without showing any actual connection. Take for example it's comments about the wealthy fleeing the state. Is there proof that the income tax was what caused that or is this simply an assumption??? Has there been any research into why they left or did someone simply find two lines on a graph that paralleled each other and assumed that they were connected??
What do you care?
Trying out for moderator, are you?

OK, I narrowed down the list to documents that "offer up direct evidence from economists and other experts in the field who find" much of the criticism of MMT flawed, "and there are many more of them" who believe in MMT, many more:
"Ignored for Years, a Radical Economic Theory Is Gaining Converts," Bloomberg, Mar 13, 2016
"The Federal Government CAN Afford to Invest in Infrastructure," James and Mary Quello Center at Michigan State University, Apr 16, 2016

very small minority following
An exaggeration that you employ in an unsuccessful effort to decide the issue.
>>There is a reason why
I figure there are a number of reasons. One large one could be institutional bias. It took a long time for many economists to accept Keynesian theory.
