      Since governments print money on demand, I don't see why we should pay taxes anymore like energy, gas, and water payments are not enough, they all come with taxes. The only reason taxes were invented in the first place was to get money in order to repair buildings, streets, hospitals etc, and when one decided to better print then wait for taxes to catch up, there should be no reason to force people to keep paying taxes.

    Sir Josiah Stamp, director of the Bank of England during the years 1928-1941, makes the following statement with regard to banking, “The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and bom in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again... Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.”

Most people have absolute faith in a system they know nothing about and is eating them up. J Paul Getty had interesting things to say about this in his book. He basically said people have no idea how hard they are being screwed every day. They are helpless because of one simple thing. That is no more getting your gold from the bank to stop government from spending. So simple, but so true.

      the only solution to inflation is to spend on good investments so your total portfolio doesnt lose value. since cash is gonna lose value in the last years months of recession. I was scared to buy a car and I actually got in a good credit in 5 years my car is paid and Ill be paying way cheap per month compared to his initial (inflated) value. I wouldnt put money on ficticious businesses like digital currency since that is a volatile money pit but thats the trend nowadays. In 5 years we will be better than now for sure. People who bought their houses in the last 5 years made the biggest mistake since they shouldve waited for pick recession and not mid covid crisis lol. 2023 2024 is the turning point we should invest now before prosper time. buy when people are scared and save when people are confident consumers.

The entire population of the US would be considered in the top 1% of the world in terms of wealth. $2 a day is considered poverty on a global scale. Even homeless beggars on the streets make more than that in the US. Ads talking about feeding the poor say "goes hungry" rather than "are starving". It's that they have a single meal a day, where as in most countries it's they only have food a couple of times a week.

      That would cause the standard of living to increase not remain stable. As things become more expensive, the standard of living goes up because money no longer can purchase what it did before. Incomes do not rise at the same rate as inflation during an inflationary period so people drop into a lower class than they could afford before.

    When Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation creating the Federal Reserve, he initiated the beginning of the end. The coup de gras came when Richard Nixon removed our currency from the gold standard, something that made it difficult to print money out of thin air. What we see today is the logical conclusion of these acts and the inevitable instability of the monetary system that results. The end started in 2008 and as the fed tried to match the inflation it caused to the natural deflation in the real economy, it just became a matter of time until it all spiraled out of control. We are at that stage now. But, through all of this, the 1% managed to garner a much larger slice of the pie. Ain’t that America.

    Very Very well spoken! The part about the depression phase being apart of the cure was especially interesting I had never looked at it that way before. There's 1 idea I came up with that I think would be worth the effort to try and that is to recycle things like aluminum cans and scrap copper and/or any other soft valued metal and turn them into coins of face value of the metal they're made from. If a basic coin making machine could be built that could take things like aluminum cans or scrap copper and turn them into identical size and weight coins then using something like one of those machines you put a penny in and it smashes a picture or logo or w/e on it usually found at fairs and such but in this case it would be a brand of national wealth representation of the Country not representation of some private bank or government but representation of the wealth of the entire country and getting the public at large to do this is mass in turn creating their own wealth with the metals that they accumulate then this would begin creating a medium of exchange that could be controlled by the people and in turn taking back control of our monetary system. It is illegal to coin our own private coin money but if we all started coining money that represented a unified national wealth money system of the people, then this would not conflict with our constitution instead it would be building wealth and monetary gain for it. I am attempting to make a prototype of a basic coin making machine that can take aluminum cans and turn them into coins that can be used in voluntary exchange and I hope someday the idea will catch on to more people in the general public.

All economists know that entering such a huge amount of money without being leveled will generate a high increase in rates eventually (AKA inflation). This may take quite a long time to be normalized, but it is the people who suffer the consequences of such inflation because each time they have less money to cover up their basic necessities.

      Non inflating currencies are very dysfunctional.
      A currency is primarily supposed to mediate transactions, it's not supposed to be a long term store of value. That's what bonds are for.
      If the value of money is going up (prices are going down), then why would anyone invest in a real business, when you can just hold on to cash and make more that way?
      In summary, if people are using your currency as an investment vehicle, then you're doing it wrong.

      @@budaraivoso What I said was if investors get a better rate of return for hording cash than they get for an investment such as stocks or bonds, then investors will favor hording cash.
      Investors like making easy money. It's really not a controversial statement.
      I don't know what "stop inflating" means. It sounds like you're misunderstanding the problem. I'm talking about comparing the rate of inflation with the rate of return on investment.
      Currencies don't have stable values, they're always inflating or deflating. There is no magic number the Fed can set as the appropriate inflation rate, they don't have that level of control over prices, and they don't know what the magic number is.
      It's why the Fed exists as an institution, they have to continually do their research to nudge the inflation rate in the right direction by issuing more or less currency. How do they know which direction to go? By comparing what's happening with the price of money with the rate of return on investment.
      If investors in your economy are favoring hording cash over investing in the real economy, there's no difference between that situation and a capital strike.
      Capital is greedy and socially irresponsible, and this situation is the perfect illustration of this. An economy based on hording cash instead of real investing is one in which the people holding onto money are doing nothing of social value with it. In fact, by sabotaging the currency, investors destroy social value when they horde cash. Long term, this is horrible for business, horrible for your economy, and horrible for your society. You want to live in a society where all the money goes to useless people that sit at home and do nothing? This is a society that doesn't reward work, its unjust, dysfunctional, and the monetary incentives are all wrong.
      From an economic perspective, it doesn't matter who has the money, it matters what they're doing with it. If you don't know how to make good use of your money, the government would rather it go to someone that does. That's the way it's supposed to be.
      Politically, the problem seems to be an inability for political leaders to criticize and be frank about the role of capital in the economy.

      @@ywtcc sorry i mispoke. I meant stop inflating the supply. I think you are spot on with most of what yoh said except 2 things: 1- if currency appreciates that is bad for the economy overall because its gonna lead to hoarding. I think firstly that depends on the timeframe you are considering. Markets are constantly cross correcting, if you look at a small enough time window you can say the same about any good: "if that good appreciates (or depreciates) its bad for the economy because of so and so". Economists tend to be for free markets except when it comes to money. Here we should go for central planing... i think that is fundamentally incoherent
      2- because capital is greedy and socially irresponsible (which i agee 100%) we shoul delegate decisions about the most important aspect of economy (of society prob) to a dozen people (or whatever number) and the results are gonna be better by some magic implication. I, for instance, am from a country with a terrible record of policies, brasil.

It is a shame to see where we have devolved to economically in the last decade - 15 years; big government begets more big government no matter who is running the show. Once that power is ceded, it is very difficult to reign back in. I think we will be in for a very rough wake up from the insane influx of dollars into the system with yearly government budget increases and from COVID. Also, if the dollar begins to lose it's reserve currency in the world with the petrodollar status, this will lead to more dollars making their way back home. Great content!

    It's crazy how unbalanced the cost of living is nowadays. Lots of people can barely afford the most basic state of living. In the US right now, the Lowest level of living still requires thousands & thousands of dollars A MONTH to "just exist" we're talking about with the cheapest option of roof over your head kind of living. It's absurd. Things gotta improve or we will have a influx of homelessness like we've never seen in the modern era. In the US There's No structure of helping poor people. The better off low income people are, the better everything in society will be. It would be better to assist the lowest income people before tons of us have a very real chance of becoming homeless, if we can't keep up with our monthly bills. We deserve such a better quality of life. Just the bare minimum so we can have a safe place to sleep. It's really unnecessary how stressful modern day society is and how economics are. We don't even have an option. I hope we address this glaring issue and improve the system very soon. I know a lot of people are very fed up, hanging by a thread and a lot of small businesses are unable to afford 2 rent payments or having to close because they can't afford overhead rent for 2 places each month. (Their store and their home) ~My mom runs her own local business, it's a tough tough time. I hope things improve. It's very stressful. The cost of living is no where close to what the average person makes. It's like everything expects people to be financially well off... That's never going to be the reality. A large % of the population will always be financially poor no matter how hard they work. Some of the hardest working people I know have low income jobs. The world requires those jobs to exist so we must make a society that those people can exist and not have nightmare level stress and feelings of failure all of the time. Our society & economy ecosystem is completely not working. The great depression era at least people in poverty had the ability to live off of a dollar a day, or if they had motivation and creativity they could build shacks for themselves. Nowadays it's illegal to be poor/homeless. We are living in a huge time of struggle yet no one is talking about it and no one in a position of power is doing anything about it to help us get out of this tipping point. (Think of the economy like the food chain in Nature. The lowest aspects of the food chain support the health of the overall food chain. If those aspects fall apart the entire natural ecosystem falls apart. The economy is identical to that. Especially in the type of capitalistic economy we currently live in. Just look at Norway & Sweden. They help low income people and it helps keep the rest of their societal economy stable so those people higher up in wealth can enjoy their life's as well. We can improve things.)
