We are told that at the US Treasury's account at the Federal Reserve Bank there will soon be no more taxpayers' dollars, and therefore the Fed will soon be unable to make any more payments or issue any more cheques on behalf of the Treasury. The money has run out. This is nonsense. It is a myth, and moreover it is a myth that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke exploded in his recent testimony to a US congressional committee.

As Ron Paul points out, the Fed - which is ludicrously receiving interest from the Treasury in order to pay it right back again as profit - could actually waive or tear up the US$1.6 trillion Treasury debt it has bought through quantitative easing (QE), and it would make precisely no difference other than to reduce the National Debt at a stroke by that amount. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-28   10:22:52 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #18.

Sandeep Jaitly The fact that you not only accept such nonsense as truth,but even think it is profound truth says a lot about you.

To: sneakypete (#18) What next,"Engineering ain't about building a safe airplane,it's about the people who fly in the plane. If it gets off the ground."? Economics is one of the "soft" social sciences. It is by definition, about human behavior. Engineering is a "hard" physical science. It is about stuff and how stuff works. Human beings can discover how stuff works and use that information to design lots of products that human beings use, but it isn't about human behavior. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-28   11:54:34 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #37. To: lucysmom (#22) Economics is one of the "soft" social sciences. It is by definition, about human behavior. Yeah, I used to say similar things, too... about 20 years ago, before I started to get more educated on the subject. Economics IS about the accurate modeling of human behavior. If you have two products that are priced the same, where one has a higher level of (perceived) quality or utility over the other, than people will pick the one with the higher perceived value. While the field of economics cannot accurately determine the behavior of a single individual, it is extremely useful is predicting aggregate human behavior. Depending on the model used, the accuracy can be quite amazing. In this way, it is a science- as repeatable and useful as one of the "hard" sciences, like mechanical or electronic engineering. And I guarantee you- the field of economics is involved in your life every single day... when you buy a loaf of bread, when you put gas in your car, when you shop on amazon.com or craigslist.org, when you sell your used books at the local bookstore, or when you're sitting on your couch watching TV or listening to the radio... It's all around you, EVERY day... You seem to have this naive belief that economic theory doesn't matter or affect you. And that belief is utterly false.

How many years of study did it take you to grasp that little factoid? lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-28   18:23:14 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #39. To: lucysmom (#38) Really? How many years of study did it take you to grasp that little factoid? I've ALWAYS known that. You're a simpleton who preaches against the LAWS of economics, and instead demand that the STATE give you yours, regardless of who they have to steal it from. YOU encourage thievery and extortion, 'cause "I want MINE..." You don't give a SHIT about anybody but yourself... And you're not WORTH a shit, because of THAT "little factoid."

If that's the way you see me then that's what's true for you. It is a pity - you claim to have so much and yet are so angry. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-28 20:23:24 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 39.
