Such a small percentage of what the Gubmint actually does is agreed upon. Don't believe me, want to get hot. Go ahead and look up Grants. More cash than you, your family, your community has made in its long lineage of life has made is spent to fund some ' winner ' of the fund to an imaginary cause. I say imaginary because I personally cannot see any of it being real, yet it is. Cashflow to insanity.
We are funding this, or the printing press or digital version is imagining funding to do so at your expense. Is this the length of your / our leash ? To the extent this stuff has belief and support ?
I don't know, but what I DO KNOW, is that the level of mismanagement or reality being evil infiltrated is that this monster is not to be fed any more by us.
We are feeding a monster.
again, WE ARE FEEDING THIS MONSTER .
We give it support, however, at this point. . .
WE DO NOT GIVE THIS MONSTER THE AMOUNT OF FOOD IT DEMANDS.
THE MONSTER IS BILLING US FOR ITS DEMANDS WHILE IT USES THE FRUIT OF ITS EXPLOITS TO IMPRISON US, DEPOPULATE US AND POISON US.
So now that that is off my chest, forgive me for spelling as my brain was hemridging while I tried to warn you and every person under this insanity.
Problems arise when they cannot get the money to feed the rapacious interest payments on the National Debt (i.e. they borrowed that money, and now owe a pound of flesh to the merchant). They aim to finance those payments from taxes at the end of the year. But if pepes, say, united and refused to pay taxes for a while, in protest, or because they lost their jobs, the Gubmint will simply print the money, by 'borrowing' some more, i.e., they Raise the debt-ceiling, and that affects prices of EVERYTHING through inflation. The problem with doing that, is it makes everything cost more OBVIO, so, one needs MOAR money, and inevitably the debt will rise to bump that ceiling with increasing rapidity. So, it's a you can run, but you can't hide type situation.
At that point, one is playing a losing game, unless one develops networks for the purpose of barter. My point is that such devolution is likely to happen before any 'gold standard' is decided upon by the powers that be. BArter will eventually consolidate around precious metals and other protable barter items, like tobacco, or pot, or moonshine, or animal feed etc.
BTW: There is not enough gold and silver to make into actual currency - that was the whole reason to supposedly make nickel, steel, brass coins and paper, and later, plastic cash. I like my bullion, don't mistake me, but it is impractical to try and pay for one's groceries in ounces of silver. In any case, most people love the convenience of a card, currently, so I imagine that Bitcoin payments will become available more widely in shops and online. This conclusion is from seeing videos of Bitcoin use at tiny hovel-cafe joints in the jungles of failed economies.
If inflation gets out of hand, people die in large numbers, from starvation.
You do not understand.
Plenty of gold and silver ....at the correct (true) price. The other valuable metals are just more common, thus lower value.
I proly do understand, and I agree that those other metals are worth less.
My gandmother told me that when I was four years old.
Is what she said.
She was wrong too , she gave it away just like many "volunteered for the vax"
Well Dorthy you could always go home , you just need to click your silver slippers together because the Emerald City down the Yellow Brick road was always just a dream.
No You misunderstand again. It wasn't a matter of gubmint coming in and demanding she give them all her silver. The country had excellent silver coinage when my grandmother was a young gitl. One even had silver ten-cent pieces.
Then they took it all away, progressively. First it was 80% silver, then 50% and one day they said: fugit, we'll just make nickel coins instead.
Please tell me how one is to prevent such decisions?
They took it away.
