It's an Obamanation

Thanks for the info.

How can it devalue the dollar if it's funding operations?

He seems to know what he's doing.

 

i agree with the riddler__

 

Where do you think they are getting the money? They are deficit spending, just printing new money to be spent. If you can't understand why that would devalue existing money you're an idiot.

 

They're using tax money.....Or atleast I thought they were?

 

Well part of it may be tax money but they simply cannot get that much money from the population. That is where deficit spending comes it - spending money you don't have. While I morally have a problem with taxes, spending money you don't have is even worse.

I can understand your previous statements now if you didn't realize it wasn't tax money

 

After watching program after program, I didn't hear anyone mentioning printing more money.

I'll look more into it, Thanks!

No one is printing more money. That's what you assumed. Like I said before, we're borrowing this money from foreign economies.

 

The value of the dollar is not based upon a precious metal, it's based upon the number of dollars in circulation. The more money is pumped in, the more money is in circulation, the less each individual dollar is worth.

 

Yes I know that, but that was before I knew they were printing money, please read above ^^

 

They don't have to actually print more money for inflation to go up. It just has to be in circulation.

 

Stop using made up stats, let alone "verified" stats to use as false proof for a ridiculous idea, such as this. What are you trying to say? You can gauge some sense of Obama's sucess this early in the game? What eyes should I look through? Eyes that see oh blah blah the economy is bad. Let me cry in a corner and wait for Obama to wave his magic wand to make something happen

 

- The pointless war resulted in the capture/execution of over 20,000 TERRORISTS WITH GUNS AND BOMBS
- There was no recession, just the US wanting to panic. Besides, everyone was pissed at Bush's million dollar bills...Hell Obama has a fucking 700 BILLION DOLLAR bill
- The rich got richer by working, the poor stayed poor because they were too fucking lazy to work. Obama has made it to where the rich give money to the lazy asses who don't want to work, basically a communist country
- Your eyes may be open, but looking at the wrong thing

 

How can money, sitting, lose value? Nothing is being added, and few is being subtracted. I know how the money can become inflation, but I'm not understanding how your wording it.

 

Governments should be run along the buisness cycle.

They can run a deficit for a few years as long as over a ten year period they aren't running deficits.

 

If other country's see that America is not doing so well, they are more likely not to do business with them. They can also ban the usage of the money in their lands. I remember a year or so ago (probably longer now) that India actually was not accepting American money, therefor decreasing the value of it.

 

- A war that is mainly fought by us and we really shouldn't be a part of.
- There wasn't one as big, but there was.
- 700 Billion is used to fix what Bush didn't
- The people who lost their jobs. I doubt they were lazy, especially when the government pays credit card companies money to give to their customers, but they keep it for themselves.
- I think not.

K, thaks!

 

I don't think you're fully understanding the concept of inflation. More money can't be created out of thin air without decreasing the value of existing currency. Read here for a perfect example of the negatives of this situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar

 

It's losing value because it's newly created money that is being actively circulated. The money is being spent by corporations commissioned to build for the government, by consumers who get a tax refund, and by the banks who get huge loans.

 

I know that if money is printed it will decrease the value.....read the above posts

And thanks shredder for the info.

 

Your eyes have never been OPEN!
1.9/11 the government-BS
2.Freakin demo's who started this, i bet i bet! if your dog or whatever dies torrow u'll blame it on bush...
