you can't steal the money, Inflation
is the loss in value of Fiat Money.
It has two and only two causes: Commonly, people say the price of such and such a product has risen. This is not true! What actually happened is the value of the money has gone down. But don't expect those in charge of the education or the monetary systems to tell you the truth. This is just one very minor, very simple example of control by deception and miseducation. Eisenhower's Economic Con: In the 1950's President Eisenhower made a bid public hoopla about trying to find the cause of inflation. He said he had hired the best economic experts he could find and none of them could figure out what caused inflation. The public bought the scam without so much as a whimper. Today, they are still peddling the same scam, only now they are not so blatant about it. Let's examine this con game more closely. An Economic Analogy: Think of the economy as a very large auction house with many sellers and many buyers. Imagine an auction house that sells food, clothing, and shelter. Imagine that the buyers are like the average person in that they have a rather limited amount of money to spend. The prices of the items sold will be rather stable and everyone has a reasonable equal opportunity to purchase items. Buyers will select the items they want and bid on those items. The auction house sellers have a the choice of creating and selling a rather large supply of a wide variety of goods and services. The overall capacity of the auction house sellers to create and sell products has its limits so the sellers in the auction house chooses to sell the goods and services that bring them the most profit. Let's add an example: Among the million of items for sale in this auction house, let's focus on a sixteen-ounce, loaf of bread. At the moment, the sellers are willing to put their time, effort, and resources into baking and selling bread at nineteen cents a loaf. The buyer are willing to pay nineteen cents a loaf, so everyone gets to buy as much bread as they want at nineteen cents a loaf. Everything is fine. Now imagine one group of people in the auction house suddenly having a lot more money to spend than everybody else. Two things start to happen. First, they will begin buying more goods and services. The Law of Supply and Demand tells us that if the supply stays the same and the demand increases, the price will rise. Second, a wise seller will come along and in looking for a way to make more money, he'll put his bread in a bag and say, "My bread is better than everyone else's, and I'm selling it for only 25¢ per loaf." The advertising and the bag cost him a penny more per loaf but his higher price gives him a net gain of 5¢ per loaf. Those with the extra money will start buying what they are told in the better bread at 25¢ per loaf. Pretty soon other sellers follow suit and when the market stabilizes again, everyone winds up paying 23¢ a loaf for bread. All buyer are now paying not only for the bread, they are paying for the bag and for a bunch on image peddlers telling everyone that this or that loaf of bread is better. Because the wealthy people are inclined to bid more for the item than those who have a lesser amount of money, the above principle applies to all goods and services, particularly for products that have a limited supply such as land and houses As a result, everything ends up being sold at a higher price. The Producer of Inflation: In the above example, the government agents are the people that suddenly have all this extra money to spend. Because they control the fiat money supply, they just declared themselves to have more money. They say they borrowed it. When the government "borrows" money and spends it, it is not actually borrowing anything. It is simply, arbitrarily, increasing the fiat money supply and dumping it into the auction house. The resultant rise in prices is called inflation. What inflation actually does is take the value out of fiat money. For example, a sixteen ounce loaf of bread that cost nineteen cents in 1950 now (in 2005) cost anywhere from a dollar to two dollars. The relative value of goods and services, when compared with each other, has remained rather stable. What has drastically changed is the value of money. So the next time someone tells you the price of such and such product has risen, you'll know that really what has happened is that the value of your money has gone down again. Those who control your government have applied an age old con artist trick: If
you can't steal the money, Bush Secretly Stealing Your Money. Here's another thing that most people don't understand. Under our present economic circumstance (March 2005) the average person is finding it much harder to be financially solvent, to make ends meet, to pay all his/her bills. Why? Again it goes back to the government deficit financing. You and I are paying higher prices, opportunities are fewer, jobs are paying less, and all the rest of our economic wows are the indirect and thus hidden result of Bush and his cronies deficit spending the 500 billion dollars a year that they don't have. Why does the Economy look good? Because Bush and company are pumping 500 billion make-believe dollars every year into the section of the economy that manufactures military hardware and other tools of destruction. Teachers, health care workers, the elderly, the general public, and you and I are simply left out of the loop. . |

. The teaching that money is evil is a tool that manipulator organizations use to maintain both the wealth and control over the masses. Can you imagine God living in poverty because joy, the affluence, and the freedom that comes with having money are evil. Look at those who are preaching that money (more accurately, the love of money) is evil. Do you see any of them wearing rags and digging in garbage cans for food. The Roman Catholic Church, one of the most adamant equators of money with evil, is, itself, one of the wealthiest organizations in the world. Perhaps it's time for Christians to take back Christianity.° . |
