I wasn’t silent for either, but I pretty thoroughly understand the importance of the military-industrial complex - even if it carries some baggage.
You never mentioned that the money had to be given to the people, so you are changing your argument (again).
You argue and post on this forum from a position of willful ignorance.
It was implied by another poster, hence the statement.
So you understand that the U.S. spends as much as the next 9 countries on their military combined. Most of which are our allies.
You weren’t silent for either. So you routinely voiced your opposition on this forum?
Like invading other countries and pretending to spread democracy. Something we don’t even have here. Why do we typically invade or try economic sanctions to change the regime to something that is more business friendly?
No, they’re the reason for PRICES. You can’t just say all forces of supply and demand are inflation.
Inflation is literally a devaluation of currency from an increase in the amount of said currency.
No, because i wasn’t posting here until late last year, and both are well in the past.
A lot of that money never went to the war, it went to the Military Industrial Complex. I don’t agree with the war on terrorism, despite having been willing to die for it. It was a faux war for faux virtue that killed far too many of my brothers - and resulted in an ongoing abuse of power by the existing security state we live in.
That being said, I do agree with money that was and still is being used to maintain military dominance, hence my line of work. Being on top is profitable, but that could have been achieved without the ongoing desecration of our privacy.
Did you forget what thread we’re in here?
Man, even if that were true, I’d just have to be thankful that it’s willful and not like yours.
@castoli711, on a serious note and from a desire to understand your beliefs, how would you ensure that newly-created currency not cause inflation?
Wrong. When there isn’t enough of something-lack of production-inflation occurs. Or in the Zimbabwe case hyperinflation. Production of food fell greatly and became a shit-ton more expensive. This happened prior to the money printing. So lack of production was the cause.
Yeah, because being stupid on purpose is cool.
You have people who know about our slack in the economy and our unused production capacity. It is part of their profession. It is something that could be studied and put together. Not going over this mark, would help to ensure against inflation.
War is very profitable. Hence the reason it is conducted.
Pretty nonsensical.
No as we don’t live in a democracy. We live in an oligarchy. Spreading democracy is an often line used(excuse)for war.
Scarcity is not inflation. You’re conflating all supply side price increases with inflation.
Lack of production is more often the cause of inflation. Not the printing of money, which most-if not all- on here believe. Here is a video I’ve posted before with jerkoff Paul Ryan and Alan Greenspan in a moment of truth. Greenspan does a nice job explaining lack of production and the need to structure a system that produces things which the money given out is employed to purchase.
The oppression lays with the eye of the beholder i guess.
And he wants socialism, communism or fascism…like i said before, free cheese in a mouse trap
To be honest, fascists dorks from the Silicon Valley are making a concerted medium-term effort to turn the US into a Russian-style oligarchy so there’s that.
It’s kind of funny watching historical processes repeat themselves, only this time in a digital domain.
You have this correct.
