Quote from gnome:
And you don't seem to understand that they SPEND WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE (referred to as "deficit spending") and either "borrow" or "print" the difference... which all leads to inflation and currency debasement. And when the currency debasement has been carried far enough, financial bankruptcy for most American citizens.
A) Government DOES NOT PRINT money. Until you understand this, you will always be in the dark. The Government BORROWS money, and can only BORROW money. If it could print it for itself, we would actually be in a much better situation.
B) It does not all "lead" to anything, as if it's by accident. It was meant to.
You watch the Fed chair and Sec of Treasury lie through their teeth with their "strong dollar" policy, when it's obvious the opposite is true. You watch Bush claim that he cares about US jobs, while corporations are incentivized to offshore. You watch politicians talk nonsense about the education of our children, while US Dept of Ed has been dumbing them down for decades.
