@EyePumaPants82 @AmoneyResists China and Russia are our most direct adversaries right now. Should people be able to own either of their flags? It never ends- just leave government out of it. You people giving governments all this power is what creates these horrible regimes in the first place..
@AnonDomain@ElMeroLobo @Negotiator8888 @SenTedCruz No, because in reality they do this already, except worse- they borrow it at interest. The current system of fractional reserve lending can create far more currency than we'd ever need to create just to finance a federal government.
@EmmettB63060834@MAGulerr@zerohedge If the people- through government- were to issue their own interest-free, debt-free money, supported by full (rather than fractional) reserve banking, yes. There's zero reason for a national debt when we are more than capable of creating money ourselves.
@EmmettB63060834@MAGulerr@zerohedge It isnt semantics in the slightest, and of course the government is corrupt, they're serving the people with the power. That power was born of the banking system's ability to rob the common people of their wealth (power) and add it to their own.
@MAGulerr@zerohedge Gold is too scarce and easily controlled. It only brings economic pain. If you must use precious metals, then silver is a better choice for America.
@EmmettB63060834@MAGulerr@zerohedge The government doesn't issue money, a private bank does. Government fiat like tally sticks worked for hundreds of years. It doesn't matter what backs the currency so long as the public (government) controls its issuance instead of a private corporation. Greenbacks vs Fed Notes.
@Markness@sonstigaeaes@btcrules@nkhlday@benthompson The "business cycle" does not exist. The "business cycle" is really a credit cycle, and the consequence of interest operating on a debt-money system. If the government printed its own money, it would cease to exist.
@fullyvexed @stormee007 @AngeliaDSW@JackPosobiec There is no free money. You're speaking of bailouts, not money creation. That was government *debt* backed by the taxpayers handed over to businesses facing economic woes. The government should be able to keep money liquid (create it for the people) without debt and mass usury.
@fullyvexed @stormee007 @AngeliaDSW@JackPosobiec The president is not involved in the creation of money. Alan Greenspan has stated this before rather bluntly. The banks are at fault.
