Many dollars would go to foreigners and the world economy is growing so much that the world economy could absorb them with out causing as much inflation out there as one would think (i think?). Printing dollars is changing the total number of dollars, dumbass. Printing dollars with no associated increase in wealth devalues the dollar.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	There would be some printing, yes! It would result in a redistribution of money, yes! Debt transferred form the individual to the govt wouldn't be an increase in debt. It would be that the debt would be more evenly distributed.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	Transferring debt from the individual to the govt doesn't increase total debt. It just redistributes it. Printing money to pay off treasuries doesn't increase total dollars, it just stops the interest payments on the treasuries. Treasuries and dollars have a sort of equivalency.

I think there are currency problems and global warming problems. My suggestion (shrink the economy) would deal with both problems, hopefully. The debate game is aggravating and frustrating, not entirely factual, intentionally deceptive. I try to stay out of the game... The currency problem is due to manipulation of it's value, to control the economy (steal money from the working class), to better control their lives. Life is a normally a wild roller coaster ride, and people had to hold on tight, work hard at it. Manipulating the economy is a tool, to take the work out of living, least for a few people, in the upper classes, who want to see steady profits, and obedient under-class workers. Climate-change, is just a manipulation tool, the upper class uses to get others to obediently allow them to steal more money, and control more of their lives. All of the wealthy supporters of climate change, haven't changed their own lifestyles, or the way they do business, even though they have the financial resources to go 'green'. They still hop on their private jets, and fly relatively short distances, that wouldn't have cost as much, or been as carbon-frivolous, had they taking a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation. They have the resources to change there business to renewable, new constructions could be done with 'green' equipment, and resources, built to be renewable friendly as well. They still want to save money, over saving the planet. They want fast and easy, over doing the work, that would be what the say would save the planet. They've had decades of viable alternatives, which I guess are fine for the average folks. But if these alternatives are good, and better for the environment, how come the preachers still go with the cheap fossil fuels, over saving the planet? Your economic suggest are just plain silly, a little annoying, since they never apply to your living situation, or ever will effect you personally. Most people work, because they want to own a home, raise a family, start a business. All of which costs a lot of money. More money than they have. It's not just about getting by, surviving. We want to improve our lives, and provide for our families, hopefully build something to leave our children. We aren't afraid to do the work, and aren't satisfied with charity rationed out. Life really is a lot better, with challenges, it's very gratifying, when we get past the rough spots, and succeed, makes us stronger. Unfortunately, the socialist types are weak, and want to use manipulations, to smooth out the rough spots, avoid the challenges. And, eventually, they won't be able to continue manipulating, and people will be too weak, to stand the challenges they face, no past experience to prepare them, just a dependency on others to solve all their problems. Those other people, will have big problems of their own, and no time or resources to help the people who need it most, the people who were manipulated into dependency on hand outs.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	All you are doing by cutting the economy in half, is through half down the toilet, meaning half the people are going to do without, not less, but with nothing at all. You would have to kill off half the people, or simply let them die. The only persons who would think your ideas on economics, are 'great', are like Bernie Sanders, who never actually had to work for a living. Maybe you never actually had to work at a real job. Maybe there was always a roof over your head, and food on the table, regardless of whether you worked or not. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people the live with mom and dad, most of their adult life. Wonder if any make it to retirement age, before the parents pass... The economy must grow with the population, if you want people to be happy and well fed. A slow economy, is rough times, people have trouble with expenses. Not actually a bad thing, in short periods, reminds people that jobs and money have value, maybe be a little more responsible with their spending and credit. Unfortunately, the democrats rush to the rescue every-time, throw a lot of money around to stimulate the economy, artificially. Doesn't really fix the problem, just shifts it on to somebody else's watch.

Yes, we pay our taxes voluntarily.....but if you don't pay them, larceny will occur. Larceny is the trespassory taking and carrying away of personal goods from the possession of another with the intention to steal. For larceny to occur, three conditions must be met: (1) the goods must be removed from the possession of another without the owner's consent; (2) the goods must not only be taken but also "carried away," a requirement that is highly formalistic and is satisfied by any movement of the entire object, however slight; and (3) there must be an intention to steal, which is ordinarily defined as an intention to deprive the owner permanently of his property.

That will leave more money for golf clubs, etc. The fed and treasury can pay off mortgage interest and other interest with fancy financing. I can't say exactly how but one way would be to exchange the treasuries that foreigners own for cash the we would print. Those dollars would go to foreign soil. That would cut the interest on debt that we have to pay by a lot. The world economy is growing so much that the dollars could be easily absorbed.
