Printing so much money will inevitably lead to inflation. When inflation hits, no one will lend us money at low interest rates.

If you think we're running big budget deficits now, try rerunning the numbers with us having to pay 10% interest on $15 trillion of debt.





You've been predicting this for 3+ years now.

If we wait long enough you'll probably be right. I'm not sure most of the older outposters will live long enough to see it, though.

It is not just common sense. Its like the law and very complicated and difficult to understand. Just posting a link or two doesnt make you an expert on it.





The Law is a convoluted mess of conflictions and precedents. You have to influence opinion to get your way, and you can always just spend more money to change it to your liking.


Money is a collection of simple concepts like "If you make more, it's worth less."
