Funny how people don't seem to understand that the REASON we use FIAT paper currency instead of gold is so that it can be devalued at will in order to reduce wages and benefits, and to devalue the mountains of debt without it being apparent that is the purpose. Its also much cheaper to produce than gold coins were.
the purpose of fiat money is to allow politicians to make the masses dependent on the government for favors. debt creation is not subject to free market restraint. disgusting.
