Detroit in Ruins

Post by Thunnus Salmoides »

I've heard that Detroit was bad but I didn't know how bad.

They couldn't recognize a fatally flawed idea if it destroyed their city.
Wait, it did.

The laws of human action/TRUE economics are facts, not opinions to be changed. This it what happens when people deny those facts long enough.

"If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their money,
first by inflation and then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will
grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property
until their children will wake up homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered."

Better point out that he did NOT mean that govt should control currency instead, but rather currency should be a product of the market.

Fractional Reserve Banking = Ponzi Scheme
Central banks = cartelization of multiple ponzi schemes
Govt backed insurance (FDIC) of potential victims of legalized ponzi schemes = moral hazard
Fiat currency backed by no physically scarce materials = counterfeiting

They would demonize us and throw us in jail if we tried any of that, and when you think about just how the FDIC "insures" deposits = priceless.


BTW, Jefferson never wanted nor thought necessary a Constitution. It was Rothchild's agent Hamilton and his gang of thieves that were not satisfied with the powers granted to the Feds by The Articles of Confederation, a charter that when coupled with brave, thoughtful, liberty minded men was enough to defeat the most powerful empire on Earth at the time.

A country with no rules or guidelines? Interesting

It might have worked. The Constitution, drafted later, wasn't enough to stop stop the power grab as we can all plainly see.
