Too Much Currency, Not Enough Wealth

THE GREAT THING ABOUT MONEY is that it doesn't really have to exist in order to be useful. you don't even have to have it in your pocket to pay for something. just say the magic word, and its there! just hand your card to the cashier.

let's have the united states government print up a ton of it (money) and send it out, electronically, to all americans. george bush junior did that one time, bless his heart, but the amount was only about six hundred per (per amer per).

I'm talking about real money. let's have the u s fed gov email a million bucks to each and every one of us.

hell, make it ten mil. and why limit it to americans? flood the world with american currency, drown out all the other currencies, establish real, complete american global economic domination. real, complete, corporate american economic global domination. sorry.

everybody in the world using american money, enriching the american lenders of american money, enriching us all, seven billion multi millionaires.

how would you spend your ten mil? big new house? nice new car? investments? travel?

removing currency from the gold standard, or any standard, is an ambitious act of growth and greed, the hope that currency will sustain its own value on memory, and will grow the economy merely by existing in ever greater quantities.. a visit to the bureau of printing and engraving in washington d c is worth anybody's time, to see those bills rolling lickity split off the press.

for twenty dollars used to you could buy a sheet of sixteen ones, suitable for framing, or, in a pinch, for cutting up and spending on ramen noodles.

the only problem is: if you print and circulate a milllion bucks, you gotta manufacture a million dollars worth of cars, houses, and TVs and radios and shoes and socks, and other things....or the currency doesn't mean much, because it no longer means gold... in our world we manufacture money magically from a small plastic card; manufacturing actual wealth is a bit more work.

do we want a world with billions of huge valuable houses, or a world with less currency?

its our choice.
