@futurebird @cammerman Funnily enough, I was just typing up notes on why governments should not be run like households. The different relationship to money has much to do with it:
"[G]overnments are not like households, and there are a number of reasons why. The first and most obvious one is that the government owns its own bank. Not only does it own its own bank, that bank is actually the creator of all the money in the economy." – Richard Murphy (https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01/23/the-curse-of-the-household-analogy/)
