What exactly keeps you from implementing a negative interest rate?

I.e. some form of tax on held cash?



Nothing. It’s already been done. Sweden and the ECB used them for a few years.


Okay. I thought that was the case, and frankly, it's the only mechanism that even comes close to making MMT make some sort of sense, since that could act as a monetary black hole... I think.
