Money Is An Illusion

[overland]

I have heard people tell me that we can't afford free college or universal health care. They should know that our whole concept of money is just a fantasy. Our currency is fiat currency. It has no real value. Also, the U.S. is about 19 trillion dollars in debt. The last I heard, we have over 61 trillion dollars worth of unfunded obligations. Also, each year we lose anywhere from 300 billion to over 700 billion in our trade imbalance with China alone. On top of that, each year we HAVE to pay 420 billion dollars just on the interest of our national debt. But somehow, we keep going on. Why? Because the idea of money having any real value is a joke! Think about that the next time you want to cry about taxes or say that we can't afford free college or universal health care.

It has no real value.

of course if true you would not mind giving all of yours to me. See how easy that was?

Evidently you don't pay bills with an illusion...

How about if I just give you half of what I have. Just after the I start getting half again more. But then, you would have to justify yourself to the government.

Maybe if I followed some cult. But I don't.

Why?

Give me the other half.

But I and you do. That is what my thread was all about.

My thread basically said everything there was to say.

You follow the "Money is an Allusion" cult.

That isn't a cult. It is a reality. Ask anybody. They will tell you our currency is a fiat currency.

Then give it away.

Walk the talk.

I'm sure they all appreciate your decision. You're much too lamebrained for the average cult.

 

[norwegen]

I'm fine with my illusion, as long as I can trade it for gas and a soda-pop.

How many other allusions do you eat?

You're too dim to follow anything.
For instance....logic.

Do you have any idea what you are trying to say with this gibberish?? Please try in better English.

Of course it is a fiat currency, but that doesn't mean it has no value. I am about to go downstairs, give a lady $1.59 and get a large coffee in return. If I went down with monopoly money, I would get nothing.

A fiat currency has what value we allow it to have.

And they could also make it so that you could have free college and universal health care without missing a beat.
