Ironically, the US confiscated gold in 1933 to ...stop... the printing of money to end a depression. :D

Now, that's all they have. Printing money. Never works well.

    Oh, don't be silly, Topstuf. All you have to do is keep interest rates and inflation near zero, and you can create and dump money into the economy until a fare-thee-well. Easy-peezy.

    Inflation is pretty easy to control with outsourcing. Now sure, it means less wages but there's stimulus to cure that. >:)

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Hmm.. so if They didn't dump MMT money (or stopped) then we'd have massive deflation spiral, including huge price/ value contraction, widespread unemployment, and general economic ruin?

    Or will magic pieces of metal save everyone if we would just buy buy coins and bars like the smart ones?
