I understand your point, but I also think it's useful to get a critical knowledge of what you intuitively believe, not the least to see how the experts argue it and see what holes in your own belief system there may be. If you are vaguely Libertarian because you like Doug Stanhope and think America is doing some shady shit in the Middle East reading actual Libertarians is going to be the best way to grow beyond it.

It’s not but the elite can be either intellectual or corrupt. An intellectual aristocracy is what you’re after. Like Athens, but in a wide scale. In representation, we need clarity in our government. The move is for the government to openly become an aristocracy so we can get the intelligentsia in control. It remains to be seen how the break up of current authority is to be effected.

Anyway throughout time, the elite has used tariffs and debasement of the currency as tools to keep the birth rates in poorer classes artificially high so they remain poor and unable to resist authority.

uh bro you don't know what the federal reserve is if you think it is free from cronyism. the fed backs government misadventures and delivers a profit win or lose. this is why congress/raytheon/grumman/lockheed/boeing have spent trillions blowing up shit all around the world, because the government pays industry and the fed "pays" out to the government. except, like a spending spree on black friday, it would have been wiser to never spend in the first place.

How is debasement of currency a bad thing? Inflation is the natural result of markets growing and it helps reduce the amount of debt poor people have. The only issue is when wages don't grow alongside inflation, which isn't a federal problem unless you want to consider raising the minimum wage

>What does the fed have to do with fiscal policy?
The fed will change monetary policy based on the decisions of congress. This, unsurprisingly, has an influence on the kinds of fiscal policies congress is and is not willing to pursue.

>> No.10900530

>>10899860
>How is debasement of currency a bad thing?
It lowers the purchasing power of the dollar and alters the accessibility of saving, moving people to spend more in the present.
>inflation is the natural result of markets growing and it helps reduce the amount of debt poor people have
Markets growing lowers the cost of production of growing industries. The price of electronics have drastically dropped over the years for MUCH better products. Poor people's debt comes at a higher rate of interest than the inflation, they'd have less debt if they didn't have to over spend in the first place.
