Isn't the Gov't like the biggest gambler of all ?

They spent shitloads of money in the 60's to put a man on the moon, by a 1969 deadline... ( been about 40 years since we even tried again )pretty much for the Hell of it, like a 10-team parlay !

What did it accomplish ?

Social Security Program.... that's a big pyramid scam

spend billions to make just one stealth fighter, or Nuke-U-lar submarine.

I think they start minor wars just to test the toys.

it's not gambling when you just print more money after you lose.:hump:

hyper-inflation, which would occur if printing money at will is no answer. It benefits those that owe greatly, it has occurred in many countries. That's why the USD is considered one of the more stable currencies ( relative to many others). Look at all the USD they had in Iraq.

You can't just debase your currency ( furthur), then you're 3rd world, that can only go so far ( printing more), some stability is necessary, .... otherwise its like saying:

I can't be out of money, I still have checks left !...

USD will never experience the hyper-inflation crap ( at least not in my lifetime), it may fall against better currencies, but not lose 100% + in days.

The Fed can't do it that fast, maybe 10% debasement a year against the Euro or something gradual, but not hyper.

Remember our nickels contain 10 cents worth of copper and nickel,now !

They don't start wars to test toys. They start wars to inflate the stock market (Of which the top dogs own a shit load of oil and defense stocks).

I've been a bring proponent that congressmen, senators, and the pres/vp should only be allowed to own index funds. Enough of this horseshit on blind trusts. They all know what are in those...

Farmers used to own the "Biggest Gambler" title.........but now the government underwrites even them (corporate farms anyway), so yes, the Government gets the crown.
