		<description><![CDATA[Our money supply system is stupid. A child can see it&#039;s stupid. All money is created as debt so to pay off the interest you have to have more money...created with more debt. Simple arithmetic will show you that the interest portion will grow to unsustainable levels as the debt compounds. Maybe this is the reason we are suffering so. Mass interest and debt accumulation. The people in control of the FED and other central bank owners are allowed to create any amount of currency while sticking us with the debt. Nice racket if you can get it. Since money is based on debt if we pay off all the debt...we would have NO MONEY!

There&#039;s another way of thinking about this. If all the goods and services in the economy were backed or shadowed by an equivalent amount of currency we would have a situation were there would be debt but it would be owed to no one in particular. The cash would be a direct substitute for goods and services. Benjamin Franklin wrote about the currency in Pennsylvania that worked like this but based on land. It worked very well and provided prosperity for the whole community. Of course when the Bank of England found out about it the King made them stop causing the whole community to crash into a downward spiral. Possibly being one of the reasons  for the revolution.

Since the debt is compounding it can&#039;t be sustained. They&#039;ve already got this figured out. They&#039;re going to Special Drawing Rights SDR&#039;s. There will be a big financial crisis and SDR&#039;s will come in to save the day. It will of course be the same rip off but on a bigger scale. See below. They explain it all.

We should go to a money system that&#039;s based on total goods and services. It could be inflationary but not necessarily any more than what we have now. All debt these days (bonds) are essentially monetized or currency anyways. You just borrow money on the value of the bonds. So doing away with bonds would not necessarily cause a cash inflation spiral as the bonds are likely monetized (cash) as it is.]]></description>
