Always happy to read about our “cousins”. Would like to know more, see a pic, and recruit her. People don’t understand, (to use a Heinlein scifi term … “grok”) the web.

Bono, Third World debt releif, and am I glad about it? No that was some of my taxes wasted!

Sunday, February 12, 2006

> Bono thru political action and $40 billion worth of debt gets canceled to 18 African nations.

>  … … doesn’t that make you glad?

>>>>It may not be as immense as saving Africa from debt and AIDS, it may be no more than saving one small child or reengineering one vital process, but it will matter just as much in the end. And doesn’t that make you glad?http://www.acton.org/publicat/books/transformwelfare/olasky.html It has to be rooted in the concept that “give a fish, feed a day. teach to fish, feed for lifetime.” What we do is guaranteed to keep our fellow humans in poverty, virtual slavery, and misery for their short lives.

Am I happy? Nah, it just looks like more of today’s liberal (as opposed to the classical liberalism of freedom and liberty) feel good, self aggrandizing, give away what isn’t mine, socialist – communist, Barbara Streisand. Let’s talk about real solutions that set people free. That’s what I like to see in Provisions.

Sorry to be a gloomy Gus. But, a decade from now, we will still be talking about third world poverty and debt relief, and why the cradle of civilization can’t feed itself.

IMHO

“Counterfeiting” written for http://freetalklive.com/wiki/index.php?title=Counterfeiting

Sunday, February 12, 2006

 

In the realm of Big Govenment, this means replicating the Federal Reserve Note by other than the Bureau of Prinint and Engraving. Did you everwish as a child that all monompoly money was real and that you could take it and spend it for your whims and wishes. That’s the power of the Big GOvernment priniting press.

Unfortunately, as child you soon realized that no one would exchange your monopoly money for the candy, comic books, and trinkets that your heart desired. When Roosevelt took gold as money out of circulation and Nixon completed the crime by clsong the gold window, these United States of America and its citizens embark on another experiment. Could a currency float without backing.

Foe many factors, not the least of which is the dumbing down of that citizenry by Big Government education, the citizen never realized the fraud being perpetrated on them. Big Government runs a deficit? Ah hah, just print some more paper money. Big Government wants to fund a war in coutry X, Y, or Z? Ah hah, just print more paper. Big Government wants to buy soem more voters with a big social program? Ah hah, just print more paper. You’re childhood monopoly money dream is ebign lived by Big Government.

Now Austrian Economics, and even Keynsian economics, recognizes that paper money only has value by having people willing toexchange goods and services for it. Austrian economics would assert that the boom and bust business cycle is due to the mistakes people make based on unreliable information. This paper machine is one reason for those bad decision.

College students, a terrible misnomer since they rarely study anything, “learn”, if they bother to take Econ101, that money is first and foremost supposed to be a store of value. The US Federal Reserve Note is some store of vlaue; it lost 97% of its value in 30 years.

Oh yes, the piper must be paid. Someone is the victim in this scheme. That someone is anyone who holds a dollar when the new ones are issued.
