Well, if you just print more money, then isn't the money already in use, actually worth less? Isn't the dollar supposed to represent a amount of gold or silver of equal value?

The dollar has has not been backed by the gold standard since 1971. (Economics minor in college)
What backs up our money? Nothing...

There is also the fact that we as a country are becoming more of a virtual money society. I go months with less than 2% of my earnings passing through my hands as real money (US Currency)

But that is a completely different conspiracy theory

I wouldn't do that  :wink:

I actually listened to that Alex Jones guy today. I was curious to see what he was all about. He seems pretty passionate about his view of things.

I have my own theory though. The Bilderberg is driving the world's wealthiest nations to virtual money. The Banking systems will then be brought to their knees. The governments will have the stockpiles of gold and the wealthy members of Bilderberg will have stock piled all the cash. US tender will then be reestablished as representative of gold and silver. The governments will then have most of the gold and silver maintaining their power and the Illuminati will have most of the cash maintaining their power and wealth.

We the people will only have limited cash and gold since the financial institutions will have crumbled. Our plastic cards will no longer work and our virtual money that we never see will be gone.

At this point illegals will be in a position of power in mainstream society since all of their work is on a cash basis and they send the cash back to Mexico for stockpiling and safe keeping.

This will be the beginning of the end of our society and will then result in the civil wars (yes wars, many throughout the US alone)

This will all result in the master plan Bilderberg and the UN have to eliminate 80% of the worlds population through us heathens killing each other and justifying our deaths with our savage, unrefined culture of greed and evil. They will be able to keep their hands clean while we do the work for them.

The only way to win is to love and respect each other enough to not fall into this trap. We need to come together as a society and not fight, but support each other.

Just a thought

Not bad huh, I just made all that up after listening to that Alex Jones guy. He really gets in your head and gets the creative mind working. I think it would make an interesting movie but I can't imagine something like this really happening.

Re: Why are things costing more?

I'm starting to wonder with the dollar dropping to a new lowest...........


Can we (USA) go bankrupt?

Re: Why are things costing more?

I think we are already there buddy....just a matter of the truth revealing itself over time, the Federal Reserve will never admit it.

Re: Why are things costing more?

Its tough to call a nation bankrupt. But for years we have bought in more goods than we sell, a negative balance of payments. We have charged low taxes, and embarked on expensive wars. Time is coming to pay for it all....

On an earlier statement about virtual money...All money is virtual! Its kind of the point of money. It is bits of paper and worthless metal that represent buying power. It is a the string that connects collective bartering; I work for a day, and get food, gas etc at the end of it. Money links one end of the deal to the other. What causes our currency to devalue is when the buying power of our money drops against other currencies, quite literally.
