I would ban the politcal threads. I would permit the economic threads. I don't know which button that would be. I consider anything that...
Your economic analysis is incomplete. When the Treasury issues a bond and it is purchased by an individual, it is not deflationary. Every dollar...
Cut and pasted from www.federalreserve.gov to clarify. I bolded the relevant parts. Who owns the Federal Reserve? The Federal Reserve System...
You are correct. Proper bank regulation and sound monetary policy is necessary to avoid economic contractions regardless of the form of currency...
If the bank has mismatched the duration of their assets and liabilities, they have a problem. If the duration is matched, there is no problem....
Well, I didn't really to expect you to admit your error. You are probably the only one alive who believes Spain's demise was caused by gold and...

This requires some clarification. I saw a report by Societe Generale [hardly a pro-gold organization] that calculated that the $8K metric tonnes...
Just to be clear, I don't believe we will have a gold standard again. I'm not a survivalist. I'm not a goldbug. I don't believe the dollar will...

What you have described is the failure of mercantilism, not gold. Again, you have demonstrated that you don't understand the relationship of...
I didn't see your question to me burried somewhere in your mountain of spam. Regarding the debt, when debt is issued and purchased by...
Could you please quote one of my "falsehoods" from earlier in this link? To be honest, I don't even know why you are here or what you are trying...
Any of us could perform a google search on our opinion and cut and past the links from there to here. There is an enormous amount of "research"...
As the above excerpt shows, not even your hand-picked articles agree about gold causing the Depression. It is only your OPINION. I've read many...
The money has declined somewhat in purchasing power since 1937. I just wanted to debunk your OPINION that gold caused recessions by demonstrating...
Ruben, you're the poster boy for opinion masquerading as fact. But if you insist that fiat is the magic elixer to prevent recession, we've had...

Much more important is the ability to distinguish between fact and opinion.
