I was with you up until here. Yes, indeed, money is created all the
time. Ben "printing press" Bernanke makes sure of it. Each new (not
replacement) dollar that rolls off the presses devalues the ones in
your pocket by a little bit. The government can create as much as it
wants. Secondly, our money isn't "real" anyways, since there is no
standard behind it. It's just paper we place a perceived value on.
That value can change anytime, just ask the Zimbabweans...


sigh yet another chapter in the never ending saga of the idiots versus
the morons. sigh

Assuming that dicklet has any better idea of what he may have wanted to say
than you do......not a safe assumption by any means, but what the
hell.....let's guess that by "Real money" he meant something like "wealth."
Thus, not only are you wrong by virtue of poor reading skills, as usual, but
he is also wrong, as usual, as a natural consequence of having no idea
whatsoever of what he is talking about.

a prerequisite for participating in usenet. hm......or in government, for
that matter.
