**Strong arguments against MMT:**
• Ignores supply-side constraints - printing money can't magically create more oil, chips, or skilled workers
• Political reality check - giving politicians unlimited spending power is asking for trouble
• Exchange rate nightmare - other countries won't keep accepting your currency if you're reckless
• Crowding out private investment through massive government spending
**Weak arguments:**
• "Debt burden on future generations" - misses that government debt ≠ household debt
• "We'll become Venezuela" - lazy comparison ignoring institutional differences
• "Markets will punish us" - bond vigilantes have been MIA for developed economies
The real issue isn't hyperinflation fears but whether you trust bureaucrats to manage the entire economy better than market forces. Spoiler: they can't even fix potholes efficiently.
