4. The worst of it is.....
Edited on Mon Nov-14-11 02:50 AM by DeSwiss
...it's not actually worth anything but what they say it's worth. Only 3% of it is actually physical ink and paper money. The other 97% of it is all in electrons in someone's computer at the Fed. If we cut-off the juice, then they'll be as poor as everyone else is, eh?


- That is both the beauty, and the Achilles heel of fiat money. And just as soon as everyone else figures this out, they're doomed......


"You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QexXe9NWO8Q">~Hopper, "A Bug's Life"
