[QUOTE="chip, post: 1983814, member: 19122"]Yeah, I agree with a lot of things that you have written, but it does not make your argument any stronger to call a contrary opinion foolish. The dismal science of economics is no more a science then phrenology, the fact is that we still have inflation, we still have joblessness and other economic ills that if economics was a science its stated goals are different than its actual goals. I picked up some of those Zimbabwe inflation notes a few years ago just for the fun value of being able to prove I am a multi-trillionaire. not knowing there value when I bought them and having a blind trust in my local coin dealers having good deals, I paid twenty for a fifty trillion, a hundred trillion and a 50 billion note, when I saw a bunch for a lot less and mentioned it to my dealer friend, he admitted that he did not pay right for the notes. Which was a revelation to me, up till then I thought all these dealers had a lock on what things were worth, but since then I have found that even very knowledgable dealers still have weak areas.[/QUOTE]
