Increasing the money supply (the real one, not what you referenced earlier) to pay for welfare programs and economic interference.

I don't know if you know this but Americans in general are getting poorer and poorer and the Very wealthiest top half percent are getting richer and richer. You can want to do better all you like but in this current climate it's a pretty difficult. Poor gen Z kids are going to have an impossible time paying back student loans or ever buying themselves a house. We've got an out of control system that's not working for most people in this country


bullshite!

You could move all the Whites out of Malibu and Beverly Hills and give it all to blacks. Both would be a fricking ghetto in 3 years.

To all who were forced to wear masks and mandated to get a covid shot. To the blue-collar workers having to work longer and pay more. To residents in E. Palestine and cities across the country seeing crime spike as corrupt DA's let convicted felons out onto the streets. And with illegals flooding across the border...



Do you really feel you have any privilege?

But what about the US monetary policy is causing this?


Debt, increasing the money supply, devaluing your dollar.

The bigger government gets, tthe more you devalue their dollar, the more difficult it will be for the poor to pay bills. Nothing is free.

That depends entirely on how much he values having a penis.

We talked to our kids about racism. They asked us what we were talking about. They're two half black half white boys in a school that is 95% white. It's a non issue for children. Racism only exists in adults who want to perpetuate victim hood.




Spot on. Racial animosity/victimhood mindset is perpetuated by adults with zero scruples. My kids are also half and half, yet they have zero problems with their peers of any color. That mindset/behavior starts at home with Aggiebelle and I. My wife is not more "privileged" than me, and our kids' success will hinge on the example she and I model. The more parents adopt healthy racial approaches in the home, the better society will be in general.

That's a fair point but let me ask you this: how much money is made by the top 1% in investing every year?


Youre focused on the wrong thing.

This spending trickles upward and parks itself as wealth in the economy. As long as that money supply is there, smart men will figure out how to access it.

The issue is the money supply.

HOLY fricking shite.

You think that interest just magically appears?

because none of you ever mentioned the fact that the very wealthiest people are the ones devaluing the dollar more than anyone


Holy shite, you do think it magically appears

Every time this comes up, capitalism or our current system which is capitalism with a lot of socialist policies thrown in comes up. Every time the left wants more Socialist policies. Every time this is tried in the real world it ends up in totalitarianism and the deaths of the opponents pile up. It is like parenting kids, when you give them everything and do everything to help them they turn out like shite

He permanently destroyed it. Crony Capitalism exploded under FDRs watch.

Throwing money into the system disadvantages those at the bottom moreso than those at the top.

Are you equating earning interest with printing money? Is your understanding that someone making money is increasing the money supply? Do you think a paycheck from work is the same as newly minted money? If yes to any of these, then you have a horrible misunderstanding of how money works. I mean, honestly, I think most of us in this thread will feel fundamentally stupid for having spent time this morning in “discussion” with someone who is so clueless about the basic workings of the world.

Youre creating wealth, which is used to create jobs do other things in the economy.

"Yes, we would frick it up like we do everything else...but this is why we would...."

I would hang my head in shame if I EVER IN MY LIFE have to make excuses like that for White people.

Every now and then a youngster ventures over to the PT to show how smart they are. They always fail.

Billions

From increased production of goods and services.

No. That money is being invested and used to actually expand GDP. Unlike printing money, which produces nothing of actual value, thereby decreasing the value of the preexisting currency.

This is really basic economics
