Buy now pay back never. This example that our government sets before for us has severe consequences for ordinary folks (I think my daughter is suffering the reality of the fact that debts must be paid off somehow). Thomas Jefferson said, "Don't taste the pleasure until you know there is no hook in it". But who cares. Just charge it (or print it) and hope you can pay later.

And does anyone really believe that money can be made out of absolutely nothing? It surely is being done right now. How long can this go on? I don't get it. Then a friend of mine -a very bright and talented friend indeed, argues that the world must run on a fiat money system in order to pay people working all day or night that actually create or make nothing. Pay nothing to the creators of nothing. I am lost to understand how this can go on and on.

Maybe not everyone can be rich or safe or hoard a few gold and silver coins. But it surely is worth the effort of trying to inform that this is a logical thing to aim for... isn't it? I guess most people will just surf through their pain and try to hang on. I shouldn't grieve too much about it. But I don't understand why it is easier to label someone as a kook or a doomsayer rather than consider what is just plain common sense. I guess it gets back to the, "What's easiest right now" consciousness and worry about problems later on. Thanks for the great example Mr. and Mrs. Government. A long groan is all I can muster.

Listening on the radio today... people arguing passionately about how to spend our money outside of our shores. They say we should do this and we have to do that... they feel so important about spending money. These people are not aware of the simple fact we just do not have any money! I'm inclined to think more and more that most all of our problems are due to the fact that no one understands what money is and where it comes from. I think the time is surely ripe for a discussion about money - or what we call money. We trust our government to tell us the truth about money. They do not. They don't tell us that our own constitution says clearly that money is to be only gold and silver. They, together with the banking cartel known as the Fed Reserve are the inflation engine that is grinding our purchasing power away to nothing. The rich get richer - the middle class disappears to become part of the poor class. Standards of living go down for all that can't afford the abusive inflation tax. It is a long story, but an amazing story and one we should know well. When you truly see what has been going on for a hundred years, you get furious. I think this is the right term - furious and dumbfounded that others don't want to know about it. It does not subside. You get to the point where you will not stand for it anymore. Who would tolerate watching someone steal their own money from them a small bit at a time? Well guess what... It's happening to you right now. Inflation is the beast and it is hungry to feed its family of leeches.
