American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

@Vonskinnback @notsoloud @randahl it causes the deficit to rise, the economy to prosper and it creates value with whatever was produced with that money.
@markus_falk @notsoloud @randahl so why doesn't everyone do this, has Trump discovered the magic answer to neverending growth & prosperity?

Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.
Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.
@randahl He did not say anything about "free". If there's a hospital boat in the port of Nuuk that offers services at US hospital rates, it will probably not attract large crowds.

It may be a Trojan horse. Next thing we know there are lots of little green men without identification or batches but heavily armed running around in Greenland, telling the population to stay indoors or get shot. -
@notsoloud @randahl we can send an oil tanker to Cuba and ask for some Cuban assistance with the health care issue. They have more experience with 3rd world health care issues

China is already sending solar cells, a longer term solution.

@randahl I have a hard time understanding the intended audience and desired effect for that particular tweet on that channel.
His MAGA base? The American public without free healthcare? Greenlanders with free healthcare? The remaining European public with free healthcare?

Not entirely stupid.
Healthcare in Greenland is:
•
Good and dependable for everyday medical needs and emergencies
• Well-organized given the extreme conditions
•
️ Not comparable to large European countries for specialist or high-tech care
•️ Heavily dependent on evacuation to Denmark for complex treatment -

And there are no limits to this process? At all? Where?Let's say the US government prints a trillion trillion trillion dollars tomorrow. They go shopping for a high speed rail network, health care for everyone, full cleanup of any polluted area, a completely new renewable energy system and throws in arts funding enough to generate a new Renaissance for good measure. Right now. At any cost.
There would be no rise in inflation?

@Vonskinnback @notsoloud @randahl many countries in the world function this way. This is how the Biden admin managed to get out of the Covid recession before.
The short story is, there are different schools in macro #economics and the dominating one favors the rich, small powerless governments, free markets and is afraid of government deficits. If you like to learn more you can start here: https://youtu.be/TANEzcjNDvc?si=huuKADzDJ_66JlnT

@randahl He knows they don't need it. He trusts that his moronic followers don't.
Also, Denmark won a speed skating medal! Glad you guys were so fast in taking my advice!

The amount of money governments like this can create has no limit.
Inflation becomes a problem when the resources a market can provide do not match that investment.
This is the real limit to government spending: the people doing the work, the missing specialists for difficult tasks, the materials that are needed, missing infrastructure and so on.Anything a government can produce can always be financed.

@randahl
Blatant propaganda, the only reason he writes this is to push the narrative that people of Greenland can't live without the US. -

@randahl Is there some kind of epidemic on Greenland?
@Stephenleader nope.

@randahl
I am not aware of a hospital icebreaker existing anywhere in the world.Besides that the US has only veryvery few arctic-capable ships anyway, none of them even remotely resembling a hospital ship. It has a reason why Greenland's/Denmark's marine mostly consists of coast patrol sized boats has a reason: ever tried evading the many icebergs around Greenland with a bigger ship?
