i agree that the printing is a sort of hidden tax, but it has more implications than just that.
<<Deflation is generally considered bad.>> one wonders why? price deflation is great fun for the consumer.
<<So they always print enough to keep a very slight inflation rate. Most people are unaware of just how big a scam that is. >> very true!
<<Our job as investors is to understand these scams and own money or shares or something else to benefit from the outcomes. >>
i agree wholeheartedly. |

Just a way of putting down Jews? Some people don't count because they're "kikes", "yids", "sheeneys", "hebes", "mockies"?
I thought we were better than that. |

Yes
< Do you know what happens to debts during deflation? Are you aware of the maxim "prices are sticky downward"? It's not a linear process. Obviously, if it were linear, and no one had debts to pay off with shrinking paychecks, the scenario you hypothesize would be correct. However, we don't have to hypothesize, there's plenty of real world experience to draw on, and real economic analysis.>
If everyone was used do constant price increases there wouldn't be any deflationary 'surprise'... it's self evident. The "real world experience"??? ROFLMAO... NOT! You're funny.

Yep... and on this one your's is a really blowin some wind... You said Rothbard's opinion money supply was lunacy and then went nowhere with your posts. You finally wound up with a statement that it's been tried before and look what happend... what crap. THAT's my opinion. On this one you're absolutely full of it. Your opinion is the opposite... everyone can read the posts, no need reply.

But then, you always were a lightweight, weren't you?
Short where it matters? That type of thing? Hmmmm? |

I tend to speak when I can add something... in this case that was simple... btw, it IS obvious that your latest rants on economics were 'original ideas'...
<But then, you always were a lightweight, weren't you? >
LOL, I've studied enough economics to dispatch your crap on this one without putting much of my brain mass, yes.... as to my overall weight, I'm quite fit.
