Don't care. Money will be worth what it is, and I'll only have my relative share. Besides I can't affect what they want to print or spend.

Don't confuse a dollar bill with a dollar.
By law, the unit dollar is a silver coin.
A dollar bill (Federal Reserve Note) is a promise to pay face value, in dollars.
That promise was repudiated in 1933.

If you're wondering how the government operates without real money - the answer is simple - 300 million "human resources" pledged as collateral.

Didn't they tell you that was one of the "benefits" of signing up with Socialist InSecurity? You became a "contributor" equally liable for paying the impossible national debt. And those pesky worthless notes became YOUR obligation. So you can't object to their tender.

Since 1933, we've all been cheated of the value of our labor and goods.

Thanks to the usurers, the spendthrift Congress, and our collective apathy and ignorance of the law.

But in light of the fact that History says we can either have a collapsed economy or deficits during a Depression, I'll take deficits.
With a deep recession, we have to decide whether to let it burn to the ground or figure out how to rebuild it. The GOP wanted to let it burn....no thanks.

While the Dems want to buy everyone a new toilet. Sounds like a plan.

This 9 trillion debt is nothing since hussein obama will be in office another 3 years. We will be lucky to have a country left.

Ironic how the Right Wing refuses to acknowledge that it was GWB that dragged us into a $$$OIL$$$ and vendetta war. So Obama had the authority to declare a war in 2002?

Bush and his clan had no problem with spilling the blood of brave American soldiers for oil along with the war profiteering Cheney. The war made them wealthier so why did they care that soldiers were dying to fatten their wallets.

I understand common sense is not functioning in the liberal brain but why do you think the Republicans lost so many of the last elections? There were many reasons but many people were against a lot of what Bush did. Now it is hussein obama expanding the war and it has gotten more deadly since the enemy knows they have a friend in the white house that bows to their king.
