Public discourse would be much nicer if we all agreed on how the monetary system works. As long as one side believes that government is a parasite that tries to make the rich poor and the poor rich, while the other side believes that affordable health care, education and a secure retirement are all within easy reach, we won't agree. There is a reality to how the system works, but its machinery is rarely discussed. Ignorance, even more than lack of forbearance and empathy, is a core problem.
