First sentence of upvoted shill post

OP, you're getting trashed in the comments because you have a fundamental misunderstanding of economics.

Line where I stopped reading

The US government issues its own currency.

It is no different than a casino. You will never win more than you will lose. Even a child can understand it.

This is what redditors actually believe.

I stopped reading at (((KosherNazi))).

Just kidding, I kept reading. Typical college-level economics. He probably got is straight out of an (((economics))) book that was required reading by a professor.

I was lucky with my economics classes. The teacher didn't make it political at all, left or right. It just felt like another math class. That's the way it should be.

Yea....exactly this.

Pity we have some of the finer points of history obfuscated. The first thing great leaders of the past did...like Julius Caesar was to Nationalise the currency.

This is why I'm a big fan of Corbyn. He wants to do this, but obviously can't say it outright to start...but is going to create a national bank solely owned by the government... it's the first step.

When banks create a nations currency through interest laden debt, one must remember the words of Napoleon....

The hand that gives, is always above the hand that receives

Fiat currency schemes are ultimately Pyramid schemes as someone noted half-way down. Except with an interesting twist... The moment the population stops growing (or slows) the monetary policy begins to falter. It is a growing tax base in combination with the exporting of debt from the US in the form of a reserve currency that allows the scheme to work.

A year or so ago reddit's botnet was 15000 strong. I have a screenshot somewhere of an admin caught testing it. 15000 upvotes in less then a minute.

I'd like to see that screenshot. Need more damning evidence to get my friends away from that website.

Why would they need a botnet? They own the website, they can just alter the figure in the database.

This can't be true

It says "Redditor learns". I don't think that's possible.

Yeah, he's running off typical lefty keynesian talking points. National debt isn't like a household budget, governments can't ever really go bankrupt. No one knows what causes hyperinflation, it's probably just a coincidence that it's linked to massive borrowing and "quantative easing."

The "expert" says the US government issues it's own currency. But, the federal reserve, is not a government agency. They don't answer to government, as seen with 2008.

Then the idiot says USD is more valuable than gold. Because "try paying your taxes with gold"? What type of reasoning is this?

The more I vist main subs to Reddit, the more it seems like going to visit a mentally ill or addicted friend. Every visit is worse than the last.
