October 05, 2023 Don’t Fret The Debt. Why conservatives are wrong about the budget. And, the good news about Federal spending.
Once again, there is significant talk and energy going into deciding how much money the federal government should spend. Conservatives keep repeating the same old line that the federal budget is like a household budget and that federal debt is like a credit card.

This is not how federal spending works. We talk about that on today’s podcast and live stream.

Often referred to as MMT – Modern Monetary Theory, we will come to understand that the federal government spends money into existence, and when it taxes it removes money from the economy. However, the federal government does not use tax dollars as its revenue.

September 27, 2023 Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies - a conversation with Author David Gushee
Doug Pagitt talks with author and professor David Gushee about his new book "Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies."
Doug and David spoke at the Wild Goose Festival in North Carolina in July 2023.
The book is described as making a robust case for the defense of democracy from its enemies—including Christians—arguing for a renewed commitment to democracy on the part of Christians, by drawing on our own best traditions, not succumbing to mere secular liberalism. Any concerned Christian will leave its pages with eyes wide open to the dangers of our current form of political engagement Readers will gain insight into what democracy is truly meant to be and why Christians once supported it wholeheartedly—and should do so again.
Rev. Prof. Dr. David P. Gushee is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University, Chair of Christian Social Ethics at Vrije Universiteit (Free University) Amsterdam, and Senior Research Fellow, International Baptist Theological Study Centre.
