Did you get that MMT doesn't those claims in the article?

If I say "A" and someone else ask to experts "do you think B is true?" why do you think I'm interested in those replies? As I said it just indicates there is not interest by certain economists in understanding MMT and in addition consider that MMT is not economics so economists can't say if it's true or not, they can only says if they found it useful as a basis for their models or not.

Also you are totally wrong about the perception of MMT in academic economics, it has 25+ years of history (in its current formulation, because it has roots in chartalism by Knapp, in Marx, Keynes, Lerner and Minsky) and became more and more popular over the years. As I said, even the criminal Mario Draghi, former president of the European Central Bank, months ago said we should consider MMT.

Also when someone try to rise some criticism like Krugman there is often a reply by important supporters like Kelton. So don't assume this "debunk" is one-directional.

Of course you feel like I'm not going to change my opinion: you didn't even try to test my attitude with real arguments. And this is getting boring, really all you can say as a data scientist is "I believe in what I think is experts' thought"?
