We are headed for severe depression because you can't continue to dilute the money supply and not eventually pay the consequences. The dollar is worth nearly nothing and yet they continue to print more money.

The dollar is worth less the 4 cents today compared to 1913 when the Not so Federal not so much a Reserve was created.

Ah, D4T, I knew you would not let me down.

Some are saying we are going to have deflation because they have not printed near enough money to cover our defaults and can't do so.

I've always leaned towards inflation, but I admittedly don't know a lot a
bout deflation.

I view inflation and deflation as the 2 cycles of the Fed's money pump. One just has to think backward from reality to spot the money pump at work.

First they inflate the economy by pumping too much money into it. This is call deflation. Go figure.

Then they deflate the economy by restricting the flow of money and causing mass failures on loans and major slow downs of the economy. This is called inflation... once again... go figure.

So they pump in non existent money out of thin air into the economy causing a lot of loans to take place and construction to ramp up.

Then they cut off the flow of non existent money out of thin air which causes the economy to tank and they then repossess your real property for not paying back their fake money.

Ahhhh... the beauty of the art of usury. No wonder God don't like it.

So, I guess the really spiritual folks don't use the money system of this world.
Instead they build their own house/shelter with material that doesn't cost them anything, they grow their own food, they produce their own cloth and leather to make clothing, and they walk or ride an animal everywhere. This way they would have no income so would not have to pay any taxes.

Dunno Sam. I'm not willing to make that type of judgment on people's spirituality.

Nothing was said about using the money system anyway. Usury is only in relation to debt.

Hyper-inflation. Buy your wheelborrow now.

The Greater Depression is coming and not much is being done to stop it.

Serious. We are headed for very bad times if we continue in the direction we are headed. To the point of 'the end of the world as we know it' (teotwawkt) as a possibility. Not to to be confused with The End of the World.
The line between civilization and chaos is very thin indeed.

Okay. That's why I wanted to check before commenting because some might make a similar comment TIC.
