Hahaha! Get back to your failed banking schemes. They could use your 'expert' advice. ;)

Go back and live at your parents home. I'm sure they could use the extra income from their loser son.

I'm rolling on the floor right now!!! This is hilarious!

I'm doing quite well for myself to be honest! Money is not a problem anymore. In fact, there's this weird trend going on around my campus where we've been giving stuff away for free! Its really weird, but hey, it benefits all of us and we don't seem to care.

But yeah I actually have been helping my mom remanage her financial situation so things are becoming a lot better for her too! Thanks for your concern LK!

Yeah, I am sure some lib arts college student is rolling in it.

Try removing the self-righteous and smug cobb that is up your ass. Your pseudo-elitist mentality procures nothing than the emanation that you are full of shit.

I have no self-righteousness, nor a cobb, I have reality. Some piece of shit lib-arts student comes on here, watches some YouTube videos, reads MoneyMasters and some other libertopian drek, and then thinks he should be the one to lead a "revolution" because he thinks he has all of the ideas, spreads more FUDD online to fuck up other people's heads, deserves to get smacked around. Especially if he runs from one thread to another sniping and running, but always getting countered by me, Evan, JS80, and others. It's laughable that this fool even still comes around.

I'm probably one of the most grounded people you'll ever know. I hold no pretensions at work. Even now, I'm deeply involved in a situation where I talk to people all day, every day, to try to save their lives because somebody else wronged them. I shouldn't be doing it, it isn't my job, but I'm stuck doing it because the situation we are in. I fight for them, to save their families. I help them and they help me. I treat them with the utmost respect because they've been so wronged by another party, but I am under no obligation to do so.

I could merely say "no", treat them like shit (like other banks) and screw them. Last week I got 90 Christmas Cards from this group of people. Why? Not because I'm the most favored banker on Wall Street, but because I am human and treat them like they are
human also. Not one other banker in this situation got a card.

Respect is a two way street, it is earned by logic and rationality and lost by the opposite. SleepWalkerX hasn't earned my respect, so I give him none.

I bet LK masturbates to pictures of himself. He seems to be under the impression that he's the only adult in this forum and that everyone who doesn't agree with him is unemployed and lives with their mother.

No, my wife does that for me.

SleepWalkerX may be employed, but it's in some college dorm office or something. No person schooled in the real world would have such silly ideas.

The Problem with the Federal Reserve's Money Printing by James Grant

It is a sorry place at which we Americans find ourselves this none-too-festive holiday season. The biggest names on Wall Street have gone to their rewards or into partnership with the U.S. Treasury. Foreigners stare wide-eyed from across the waters. A $50 billion Ponzi scheme (baited with, of all things in this age of excess, the promise of low, spuriously predictable returns)? Interest rates over which tiny Japanese rates fairly tower? Regulatory policy seemingly set by a weather vane? A Federal Reserve that can't make up its mind: Is it in the business of central banking or of central planning? And to think -- our disappointed foreign friends mutter -- all of these enormities taking place under a Republican administration.

..

Barely nudging Mr. Madoff out of the top of the news was the Federal Reserve's announcement last Tuesday that it intends to debase its own paper money. The year just ending has been a time of confusion as much as it has been of loss. But here, at least, was the bright beam of clarity. Specifically, the Fed pledged to print dollars in unlimited volume and to trim its funds rate, if necessary, all the way to zero. Nor would it rest on its laurels even at an interest rate low enough to drive the creditor class back to work. It would, on the contrary, "continue to consider ways of using its balance sheet to further support credit markets and economic activity."

..

One market, only, registered a protest. The Fed's declaration of inflationary intent knocked the dollar for a loop against gold and foreign currencies. In many different languages and from many time zones came the question, "Tell me, again, now that the dollar yields so little, why do we own it?"

edit: Oh, I forgot the best quote! Sig worthy, imho.

Inflation is a kind of governmentally sanctioned white-collar crime. Every crime needs a dupe. Now that the Fed has announced its plan to deceive, where will it find its victims?

SleepWalker... please come back and chat after you've lived a little bit. The world outside of your dorm rooms and coffee shops is a much more complicated place than you can even begin to imagine at this early adolescent stage of your life.

grow up. come back. we'll chat then...

Please don't tell me you believe this? B/c if you do, you need to get a refund from your college.

Or at the very least take the time to take some basic economic courses. I didn't know spending money was a government sactioned crime.

When your money is backed by debt then then that means an increase in the supply of money (which only the few people at the top are allowed to do) is an increase in the amount of debt that the future has to pay off.

That's the reason the government/banks are preventing deflation. Deflation benefits the people at the bottom of the counterfeiting scheme.

They are preventing deflation from running its course by interfering in the free market through "bailouts."

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating."

I want to rephrase something I wrote in another thread before. Before I said that "debt as money is a form of slavery."

I've now learned that debt IS slavery.

Wow, as Born2bwire mentioned, take an economic class or two. Deflation is occurring right now.

New Revelation: Debt IS Slavery. Force + Debt = Enforced Slavery. = :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So, people are slaves for having an auto loan, school loan or mortgage? Boy, you're in a for a huge surprise when you get out of college. Let me guess, you're an art's history major? B/c it's obvious you're not an economic or finance major.

In all honesty I do think that the Government as well as CEOs of large corporations do tend to think we underlings as slaves. We do need to change that as well as how our government works.

The government is supposed to be run by the people, but when the people controlling the top positions lie to the people to get into office then those people no longer have a say in what their country does.

What's sad is that this kid doesn't even know we used French bonds (Netherlands readjusted) to finance the war with Britain during the actual Revolution that formed this great country. Yet debt is a form of slavery? rofl. Perhaps Sleeper meant too much debt. And in that sense, the U.S. is still far from bankruptcy. But I guess number crunching isn't a strong suit of Austrian economic theory.

debt often does result in a form of slavery..are you denying that?
