How Can I Count the Ways

[AceDesSpades]

In which government hides the theft of my wealth? Your wealth. Our wealth.

“They’ve run out of road with fiat currency. We had Bretton Woods and we went off the gold standard and that kept us going for about 50 years. Now, we’re at the end of the road and we got to create this new bit of sophistry called Modern Monetary Theory. And you know, the core of Modern Monetary Theory is when inflation gets high, Congress will stop spending. Can you imagine the politics of stop spending? You know, why, why do we even have a central bank?”
Scott Bessent, Key Square Group CEO

After the inevitable collapse,
a new government
a "people's"


MMT was always, The Emperor's New Clothes
The rational antidote is Austrian.

As long as they continue to get away with a-printin' and a-taxin', we'll keep taking it up the ol' shitter.


Why does Sammy steal???

 

[AceDesSpades]

This was a people's government and then Congress (poke the dog)
discovered that it could loot the largess of the treasury
and use it as walkin' around money.

The people were distracted.
Often by hate.

 

[AceDesSpades]

Why did we let Sam grow strong enough to be so impudent in the act?


Cui bono?

When anyone starts putting 'Theory' into practice you better look around to find out who the guinea pig is.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

That's easy: the fucking taxpayer.


It's always the taxpayer.

 

[AceDesSpades]

We should find a metaphorical tea shipment.

Dump red ink in the harbor.

 

[AceDesSpades]

I could dump it in the Mississippi.

As effective as my vote.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ar least my vote wasn't wasted.


I already had called it, and I was 100% on the money.

 

[AceDesSpades]

My vote is principle.

It is accumulating...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My principle accumulates.


My vote went for a walk.


Unaccompanied . . . .

Foregone conclusion here.
The People Decided when Lincoln freed the slaves and deep purple went reddish in hue...

They sent everyone a check in the mail (except you) with the words "AJs money"

I used mine for a happy meal from McDonald's.
