He does great work. I try the short clips, even 4 mins are long for some people.

That is a good one. If I can get people to watch four minutes, I move them up to 9.

If you will notice the number of replies, 4 minutes is asking a lot!

Quarters? Really?

Regardless of the obvious logistics issues, it appears that the word "inflation" never entered this guy's vocabulary.

I wasn't even going to watch the video, based on who posted it and who was saying it was a good clip in the replies, but when someone mentioned the tractor/trailer industry, it piqued my interest. I gotta admit, it was definitely worth the four minutes - I love good comedy!

Default Breaking: Debt Ceiling Deal is Done

Quote:
According to D.C. Insiders, the debt ceiling deal is all but done between Congressional leaders on both sides of the political aisle and President Barack Obama was largely ignored during the process.
A REAL Leader huh?

The quarters was to illustrate a point, he is just calling for DEBT FREE currency. Bill Still has been the leader in monetary reform for over 20 years, he knows his stuff.

We are spending anyway, is it better to go into debt to spend an extra $1 trillion or just spend an extra $1 trillion without debt?

Here is his answer to the inflation question. It was posted on the Utah Sound Money act site.

"I fully support the Utah Sound Money Act. I have always supported complimentary currencies, especially those based on gold and silver coin. I think this a good backstop to runaway inflation. This Act is carefully thought out and will send a message to other states that it's time to claw back state sovereignty from not only the federal government, but the Federal Reserve System.

But an important caveat to my support is that at the federal level, it is essential to reinstitute a debt-free money system, i.e. the re-issuance of U.S. Notes (and their electronic equivalents) with gold and silver coin as a complimentary currency at a floating rate. In other words, coins would not be denominated in dollars, but by weight. The main regulator for controlling the QUANTITY of U.S. Notes issued, would be a National Monetary Authority (NMA) made up of one elected representative from each of the several States, serving a 2-year term only, limited to two terms. That way, Congress would set a target inflation rate, and the NMA would be responsible for hitting that target by using appropriate tools to control the QUANTITY of U.S. Notes issued. Of course, a mandatory feature of this system would be an end of fractional reserve lending by commercial banks, i.e. a full-reserve banking system."

All of the "simple" solutions to the complex problem never add up.
