Risking a Financial Future That We Can Depend On - Pretend Like We Don't Have a Problem

It used to be that we had a gold standard. Some say that we should go back to that, others say we shouldn’t. I used to fall in the gold standard group, but now I don’t. There just isn’t enough gold around. And, I know that a capitalist system depends on capital, and gold used to largely represent a lot of that capital, while silver dollars and other metals made up the rest of the system. We even got rid of the copper penny. However, such a system can’t last. There just isn’t enough capital money to go around. This is how capitalism works. You either own precious metal or you become dog food.

We are headed in the direction where there is a large amount, a superfluous amount of extra humans. China has tried state run birth control, limiting the size of families, and in the direction we head it looks like other places will follow in the way of China. There will be extra humans, unintentionally poisoning water supplies and food supplies, and it is only because we are proving irresponsible as the leader of all species. As the leader of species, we are failing, and the problem is that there is too much civilized world to natural world. There isn’t room for the other species, as we take up more and more room, and not only that, most of us need not be, most of us aren’t required to make the planet run. There are few essential humans, and if those essentials left, there would probably be people that could take their place. Which begs the question: Why can’t we have a responsible President?

I am about to do a 180 here on my position with respect to President Barrack Obama. When I voted for him the first time around, it was because I thought he as President would get spending under control, and that we would even start to pay back the national debt. That has never happened. When I voted against the President the second time around it was because I thought he was an ineffectual leader, and maybe he is, but maybe that is a good thing.

Thus, I suggest not paying off our federal debt as a possible solution. This is a move to show care for the upbringing of our children, which we don’t desire slavery for. As long as we keep track of the debt, slavery is where our children are headed. So here it is; my radical suggestions.

Don’t look at the money involved.

Pretend like we don’t have a problem.

These things are what the President is doing. We should follow his lead.

Naturally, through overspending, things are going to get harder for some folk. Our money will become less valuable. We will be removing another financial standard that our capitalist system works with and that is okay. The first standards we removed were the relationships of the metallic value of our metal. Now we should remove the credibility of our financial standards even more.
