"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha Inflation dd not happen in a vacuum. Inflation is an effect. The causes are in DC and NYC. 1) We have an interest bearing currency. We must print new money to pay for the interest on a debt that would not be if we had Greenbacks. 2) We are over populated so we cannot depend on our natural resources, we have to pay for imports by printing money. 3) Wall Street Uber Alles and all those wars and overseas bases are paid for by printing money. 0 The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Your argument makes the basic point: Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. ~ Milton Friedman In its basics inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods which in turn bids the price upward. The continued existence of the Feral Reserve (owned by private banks) - most of which are owned directly and indirectly by the Rot-childs) is a Sword of Damocles over the nation's head. Fractional Reserve Banking is the Walnut Shell over the pea. "“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha We went off the gold standard in 1913. We were on the gold exchange standard from then until 1971 when Nixon closed the gold window. We were over populated at the end of WW II. That meant if we went back to the gold standard and repealed the FED, all that would have happened is that we would have annual pay cuts and rent increases for as long as it took to stop legal and illegal immigration.
