    Just realized I said celebrate twice. If you're gonna sig it, please use a revised version.
    When I can celebrate my gay incestual poligamist marriage with multiple donkeys by shooting up heroin and popping off a few rounds, I'll be content.
    EDIT- Also, I fucked up the spelling of content. I'ts late and I'm tired.

    Supporting a rapidly failing system of a monetary currency is relational to that of giving up on a decent economy altogether.

    Rapidly failing monetary system? Are you smoking something man?

    1. Price systems are fundamental to working economies, period

    2. Monetary systems allow the government to cause increases and decreases in the money supply as well as aggregate demand at the drop of a hat

    3. More economic growth has occurred since the implementation of the modern monetary system (as a relative figure as well as a nominal one, mind you) than in the rest of history combined.

    Hardly call that failing.

    There's nothing wrong with money, economies fail for other reasons such as wanton deficit spending.

    I'm not saying that money is the worst form of economic system, just that the video in the spoiler makes a good point that there is never enough money to pay off the debt of creating money. Ergo, the longer the system is operational, the more it sinks into debt (fails). Sure, it has proved as a better alternative to the trading of goods and has therefore increased economic growth beyond what it should have, but ultimately, only a currency which has no debt attached to it will forever be successful.

    There is enough (cash) money out there to pay off all debts, thats the point of it (cash) money that is deposited by people is used by banks to loan to other people who then get the cash money while the original owner still technically owns the money, just not in a material form but he still has it on his bank account (I think the english term is giro).

    We have far to many authoritarians on these forums.

    Why?

    Feels good to be a moderate, doesn't it? I support civil and social liberties a lot more than the graph displays though.

    I don't like libertarians but I will take one over a authoritarian. Absolute power backfires 99% of the time.
