I’ve always regretted passing up a chance to buy a nicely framed collection of deutschmarks through the great Weimar inflation. It started with a one deutschmark note and progressed all the way to the eleventy-seven bajillion deutschmark, or whatever denomination they finally reached at the end. The very last note in the collection was a one reichsmark note with a mustachioed feller on the front. The framed collection was not terribly expensive but it was big enough that I had nowhere to hang it. In retrospect, I should not have been so responsible.

I have always regretted not picking up one of the hundred trillion Zimbabwe notes.

I will not make the mistake a third time.

The good news is that I will be able to pay off my mortgage with the change I get back from buying a fish sandwich at McDonalds.

The bad news is that I won’t be able to afford a fish sandwich at McDonalds.

We are approaching the point at which debt service will simply compound on itself, with a growing operating deficit on top of that. No one will buy U.S. Treasury notes; it will all be fiat money created ex nihilo by the Federal Reserve. Government workers will get their COLAs like clockwork,two times a day. Everyone else will be bankrupted. The democrats will insist that only socialism can save us, and vote by mail vote harvesting will elect them.

This is the plan.

It may be a good thing that I never got the framed German banknote collection. Whoever owns it will probably be in danger of arrest for wrong think, and for spreading misinformation if he shows it to anyone.

As long as the same people who caused the problem is in charge of fixing it, nothing will improve.
