I do consider the alternatives, since I live in them every day. Yes, it's quite a fix we got ourselves into, but keeping the dollar strong while letting our economy and financial markets to collapse won't fix anything. If anything that'll be far worse, as the Great Depression taught us.

How about we not lump a bunch of people into a "paulbot" category? I don't lump others into an "Obamabot" category, and considering some of those here that supposedly support him, you should know why.

Besides, Paul is not exactly looking good in the race for the nomination. :p

I don't know a whole lot about economics nor monetary policy, and never claimed to. That's why you don't see me trying to argue staunchly in threads like these. :D

Again, I was just asking a question, and even asked to be corrected if I was wrong.

You are obviously a RPB and deserve no respect from the ferocious fiat idolizer's! Bow down now and repent fool, father FED will forgive you.

What is the alternative?


I love how internet prognosticators completely ignore the other side of the equation.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you doing the same?

Am I?

Please provide a complete rundown of how keeping rates the same would benefit us, including what will happen in the intermediate phases to the liquidity of the economy, the effects that will have from the banks to J6P.

I don't expect anything less than a few paragraphs. I will enjoy seeing your scenario, as I am sure you don't have anything to provide.

Calm down, dude. I only asked a question.

How dare they idolize gold! Blasphemy! Idolize fiat and we will forgive you. Do not mind that it is only paper and ink, it is valuable to those without heat. We don't need any dissent in the church! Repent that fiat is God and thou shalt be saved, repent not and find yourself unable to carry the heavy burden of Gold. The father FED has decreed that the interest rates will be lowered so that you may be able to get that loan to support yourselves during the coming winter with heat. See how kind father FED is? On your knees you infantile fool and praise father FED , the son of the FED and the wholly FED ghost. We are your only hope to survive!

The solution to all of life's problems is shiny rocks?

I understand the potential merits of a weak dollar policy, but the latest round of rate cuts has already done more harm than good. Further rate cuts will only burden consumers with even more inflation that they already can't afford.

personally i think this move is in a sign that things are even worse in the banking industry than we suspect. I can't see any reason for this move unless thats the case.

The anger, the frustration, I do feel it, PC. Let it go. You have become a gold-standard spammer, you enter any thread about the economy and go off on this fiat tangent.

My anger isn't because of "fiat/gold", its because wankers decide to run to daddy mod when sarcasm gets their panties in a bunch.

Say what you like, call me what you like. I will lose no sleep over what you or anyone else on this INTERNET FORUM thinks of me. Get over yourself. :disgust:

That doesn't even make sense. I am calling you a gold spam-bot, how is that me being full of myself? It's not sarcasm if you continual argue the point at every possible opportunity. Release your anger, Luke, come to the dark side (fiat).

What many people dont see is that a huge drop in the value of the USD can potentially be worse then several large banks going under and a depression type scenerio. The currency is the blood of the economy and if it becomes worthless the economy can fall off a cliff and people will start barting their way to survive.

Most modern nations have collapsed or faced drastic changes with a collapsed currency. Germany in the 1920s is a prime example... if they did not face hyperinflation I believe we would of never seen the rise of nazi germany. I will bet the same can happen here some fear mongering protective coalition will form and our government will drastically change.

When all faith in a currency is lost riots and enduring panic always seem to be a result. This drop in the dollar is nothing yet! When foriegn nations stop accepting our USD for oil and other natural resources and goods then we will be in deep shit.

Now the possibility of a extreme hyperinflation scenerio is extremely unlikely with the USD, I believe the conditions to cause such a situation are present.

It is sarcasm, but used in a way to prove a point, I'm sorry you couldn't see that.

Endless hours? LOL

Believe me, if you didn't respond to any of my posts I will not say a thing and won't even think about you. Its you and the delusion you keep selling yourself, i guess that in its own way, does make you special, just not to me.
