Shrinking forests, failing rivers, leaking houses. Policies to fix them get cancelled because of "money". Wrong frame. Britain issues the pound. The constraint is trees, workers, insulation, and time. Money is the tool.

A currency issuer doesn't choose between support and work incentives. It funds both. Framing this as a swap masks the actual trade-off: whose interests win.

"Bond markets spooked" = "we're raising rates anyway". Interest rates aren't market outcomes; the central bank sets them. Energy shocks need supply fixes, not unemployment. The deficit isn't the problem; stagflation is.

The household-budget analogy is wrong. The government is a currency issuer; you are a currency user. A household must earn income before it spends. A government creates money when it spends & destroys it when it taxes. The real constraint is real resources, not the budget deficit.
