I keep saying this in a low tone of voice and only one in a hundred people seem to hear it. Government doesn't care what you think and they don't have to care. They aren't spending your money, they're spending your children's money. As long as government can print all of the money it wants without coming directly to you to get it, it will continue to spend, spend, spend. Why not?

By the time the bill comes due in the form of inflation, your friendly politician will be retired on a 100% COLA pension with every benny under the sun and your kids will be stuck with the bill. I'm not making this up, I've already seen it happen. When Johnson was pumping money into Vietnam, did any of those politicians in '65-'70 come to my parents and say "Please dig into your pockets and pay the tax collector so we can conduct this war!" No, they just printed the money. Then, as if by magic, 10 years after the fact when it's time for me to buy a new car, inflation is 15% and when it's all over a car that used to cost $3000 is now inducing "sticker-shock" at $6500.

How many times is this going to happen before Americans wake up?

The golden rule of finance is "He who has the gold makes the rules." When the people had the gold (and silver - in their pockets and backing up their currency) the people made the rules. When the banking establishment and their willing stooge politicians have the gold (most of which is sitting in vaults below Chase in lower Manhattan) THEY make the rules. When politicians no longer have to ask the people for the money they spend, the people have lost control of their government.

Americans should just get used to being screwed because the politicians and their bankster friends are enjoying it. Until the American people force them to ask the people for the money to run government by requiring a specie based currency, they're going to continue enjoying "servicing" you.

They're too busy reading all the government's jolly economic statistics which show that there is no such thing as inflation and we live in an era of continuous positive economic growth.

Remember when everyone used to post about the Plunge Protection Team? Ah, those were the days!
