<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zuhara, post: 830370, member: 23099&quot;]Uhm... I&#039;m new around here and don&#039;t know specifically the rules about politics, so will tread carefully.</p><p>I will take it back into history which is safer? One thing that came to mind when reading this, (whether we want to blame this one or that one) is the connection between inflation/hyperinflation and unfunded war debts, wars that nobody wanted to raise taxes to pay for. Weimar for instance. Or Alexander Hamilton&#039;s reasoning about why some sort of national banking system was necessary--that is, to fund wars you basically need debt. Apparently what people don&#039;t like to hear is--we&#039;re going to fight a really big war so we&#039;re raising all your taxes... All the way back to Rome where increasingly unprofitable military expansion seems to have been connected to increasingly debased coinage. So there: I have arrived back at coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
