Confounded Interest ^ | 06/15/2022 | Anthony B. Sanders

While expected, it is still unwelcome news.

The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow real-time GDP forecast for Q2 just sank into negative territory at -0.002%.

Let’s see how Real GDP does if The Fed actually withdraws its stimulus needle.

And consumer purchasing power keeps diving as The Fed keeps printing money.

The Fed keeps printing money...

No. Better way to think of it is the FED is creating new debt.

Dollars are debt. 'Legal Tender' is not used to pay debt, only to 'tender' the debt to another.

The only Constitutional and Lawful money is coin. A certificate, 1 for 1, for the coin would be acceptable.

Without the trillion in deficit spending it would really be -5% Y over Y.

Don’t forget the last step: the government taking over more sectors of the economy after the crash.

Our country is lead by economic morons and supported by the leftist propaganda machine. Just watch a little mainstream media and they will spin this news as something good. Biden officials will claim the economic recovery is on track and Democrat policies are working well. It’s just a messaging problem. The truth is this is just the beginning. Unemployment will start increasing come this autumn as businesses start laying people off. That will continue in 2023 and businesses begin to fail. Meanwhile, the cause to all these issues will remain employed and receive raises. Those people are lazy ass government employees that never built anything other than obstacles to small businesses and hard working Americans. The solution is to shutter the vast majority of government. Make these government scum bags feel the pain. Send them to the unemployment line

Change in GDP minus claimed inflation rate equals -0.002%.

Change in GDP minus real inflation rate equals Big Recession.

Depends on which series of the silver certificate you look at - some of them have the exact same phrase saying "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." So that phrase is not what that meme makes it out to be. The previous phrase means the same thing - that the note/certificate may be circulated as payment. That's it. The silver certificates today are still accepted as valid face value currency for the same transactions (though that would be unwise given they are now collectors items and can be sold for much more).

Dollars are debt? Do I owe someone interest on my $20? Or does someone owe me?

You do owe interest on your $20. Only it is collected craftily.

Inflation is interest. Without nary a trace, no invoices, no checks to write, international banksters collect that. They do it by creating more debt, watering down your $20.

The dirty little bankstering secret, where we believe the bank is giving us 'money' for any loan, mortgage, student, car, is that what we think they take from deposits, is actually just a ledger entry and creation of new 'money'.

A silver dime (before 1972, AFAIK) can buy a LOT more in real purchases than today's fake one.

The interest on "Legal Tender" so-called 'money' can be avoided by Constitutional money - as specified Article 1 Section 8 by having real Money - coinage.

I see how I lose on my $20, how are the international banksters collecting?

Kinda.

But when I cash my loan check, I get real money from the lending banks deposits.

A silver dime (before 1972, AFAIK)

Before 1965.
