We are exporting much of our disposable cash to China and investors are sitting on the rest of the disposable cash because consumers can’t spend because investors are sitting on the rest of the disposable cash. Therefore, government must supply disposable cash to consumers by investing $1T annually in much needed infrastructure.
Consider this apparent contradiction:
On one hand, by printing money, the Treasury could cause inflation.
On the other, by printing money, China is eating our lunch with its inflation under 3.3%!
Q: Why do conservatives worry most about inflation when the Fed can stop inflation on a dime?
A: Because they don’t understand these economic truths:
Waste = Time X Idle Resources (unemployed millions, closed plants, etc.)
Wealth (GDP) = Time X Idle Resources X Investment
By investing in Idle Resources, a successful economy minimizes waste and maximizes wealth. Every minute that Idle Resources spend NOT creating wealth is a lost opportunity that cannot be regained.
Q: How does the GDP grow?
A: With $xxx…, Investor A creates a product by hiring Idle Resources (Contractor B, Vendor C, Utility D, etc.). With the $xxx…, B, C, and D, etc., hire workers and purchase from vendors who pay salaries to employees who spend money at retailers who hire B, C, and D, etc., ad infinitum. By the multiplier effect, $xxx… grows as much as 250% (according to the Congressional Budget Office) and is added to the GDP.
Q: Who is Investor A?
A: Exxon can construct an oil well or the federal government can construct the Interstate Highway System.
Q: Does it matter where government gets the money?
A: Not to the Idle Resource that gets hired. As long as the money hires Idle Resources to create wealth, the source can be tax revenue, bond sales, or computer keyboards.
Q: Can government create money out of thin air?
A: China does it successfully. The Fed did it with TARP and with many hidden deals.
Q: Doesn’t printing money cause inflation?
A: Inflation occurs when the money supply grows faster than the goods supply. When printed money hires Idle Resources to create goods, inflation cannot occur because both money and goods grow equally. To insure that only Idle Resources are hired, government monitors prices, wages, and unemployment as a signal to slow printing money and building infrastructure.
Q: In our history, have we ever printed large amounts of money successfully without causing inflation?
A: Yes, indeed! Lincoln financed the Civil War by (really) printing “greenbacks” which never lost their value. Roosevelt financed World War II by having the Fed buy Treasury securities “…in any amount and at any price…” Without serious inflation, workers and returning veterans used those dollars to create our golden age. Peace or war, there is no logical reason that printed money will cause inflation by hiring Idle Resources.
Q: Will other nations accept our printed dollars?
A: Other nations will compare our currency to theirs by our relative productivities and GDP growth, both of which will increase with heavy infrastructure investment.
Q: How will printing money relieve the debt crisis?
A: Rather than our debt, it is our debt-to-GDP ratio that matters – somewhat. But, to reduce the debt, we would need an impossible stream of large surplus budgets and trade balances. Therefore, we must reduce our debt-to-GDP ratio by lifting GDP with infrastructure investments made by printing money when there are Idle Resources.
Q: Why is our debt so large?
A: To finance the deficit, the Fed has enriched the rich over the last century by paying interest on bonds sold at market rate. As a service to the financial market, the Fed should only sell bonds at an interest rate slightly above the inflation rate. The rich (and China) will gladly buy our bonds at any rate.
Q: How should we finance a budget deficit?
A: The Fed should lend the amount of the deficit to the Treasury. Since both are government institutions, the interest rate would have no effect on the budget. Therefore, a zero percent rate would end debt interest expense and end the debt crisis.
Q: Is borrowing from a government bank more inflationary than borrowing from a private bank?
A: No, it is actually less inflationary because we would no longer increase the money supply with debt interest payments. Indeed, during boom times, when inflation is a threat and the budget has a rare surplus, the Fed would no longer increase the money supply by redeeming bonds.
Q: Will the debt keep growing as before?
A: Yes, but it will not include the amount of debt interest currently paid to bond-holders. And, since there will be no debt crisis, our debt will just be what we owe to ourselves, innocuous numbers in a ledger.

My sisters involved with a guy who wants Friends With Benefits with her!
How is this different from F*ck Buddies?
Also is this different from what used to be called a “one night stand”?

I was due to be paid yesterday but on checking my bank I hadn’t, I contacted my area manager to tell him and he told me that they had been paid to my ex colleague who had left in February and to get them from her or I would have to wait til next month for him to sort it. I have no way of contacting her so I told him this and asked him for payrolls number to try and sort it out with them, they said they needed to speak with my manager and would call me back – which they haven’t as yet, im just wondering where I stand legally as I cant wait a month to get this money.

Especially homeless men. Any male who is under 60 can get a regular labor job and make a living but they CHOOSE to leech off my tax dollars. And poor people are usually stupid, these days you don’t have to pay for school out of your pocket, you can take student loans to get a good job. Poor people are usually too stupid to get into college in the first place. They don’t deserve any respect or sympathy.

I will be starting college next fall (as a 16 year old) and am seriously contemplating applying to the Baylor College of Medicine to pursue the five year dual degree MD/MBA program after I finish undergrad.
I have heard that there are certain career and monetary benefits to getting an MBA alongside an MD (I am also very interested in business management).
What would be some career options available to me after completing these two degrees (assuming I complete residency and maybe a fellowship).
Thanks in advance for the input!

I’m turning 16 years old in a few weeks and currently work at minimum wage at Marshalls with no chance of pay raise or bonuses. I want to get a second job this summer; I’m considering applying for a few positions such as a hostess at the Melting Pot or Outback Steakhouse, a server at Johnny Rockets, or a cashier at Au Bon Pain. Which of these would be most enjoyable and/or pays the best? Any other job suggestions would be helpful as well.

Hello…Im a 24 year old United States Army Intelligence Soldier currently deployed for 9 months to Afghanistan. Before i left i found out my ex girlfriend was pregnant with my child and will be giving birth in November while I’m away and i won’t be back til a month to 2 months from then. I do not want this woman raising my child for various reasons.
She is habitual weed smoker
She had told me that even after finding out she was pregnant she continue to smoke a little weed to help with her nerve pain n stress which i felt was selfish and irresponsible of her
She is currently 21 years old with no high diploma though she is currently going to school for an alternative diploma (equal to a GED i think)
She also partakes in other drugs such as molle/ecstasy and shrooms
She is currently disputing a domestic violence charge due to her giving her ex boyfriend a black eye in which afterward she left the state and had a warrant out on her for failure to appear. She was later arrested while pregnant with possession of marijuana paraphernalia on her possession (though no additional charges were brought the fact she had it in her possession while pregnant I found disturbing
She has claimed that after her pregnancy she will resume her weed habit as well as partake in other drugs like the ones previously mentioned
Factors that could prove difficult for me and other misc facts
Her parents are both prior military and her mother is currently a contractor for the military
They both are financially stable and have a lot of money due to their service and current contract work
I will not be present for the birth due to my deployment and she has stated to not put me on the birth certificate
Info on me:
Im 24 years old and I’m a United States Army Soldier in the Military Intelligence field
My job requires I have high level background check and remain financially, legally and mentally in good standing which I am
I have no criminal record not even a speeding ticket
Im a high school graduate with 3 years of college and Im currently in the works of gaining my Associates in Intelligence Operations
I plan on using my benefits to finish school and attend Law School after wards
My parents are both law enforcement; my mother a detective in New York City and my father a NYC Sheriff both have clean records and are very good financial standing
I have NO! blemishes or bad record in my military career as i’ve only been in for a year
The army can accommodate for single soldiers with children and give me a wide variety of support programs to support me and my child while Im in service
After my contract is over I plan on returning to my college city in Atlanta, GA to finish school n attend Law School
While in Georgia I already have a house ready for me to move in as we speak (my uncle has promised me his house once I arrive in Atlanta due to him moving to Texas) It is a 3 bed room house
My reputation is flawless i have no violent incidents, not even private ones. I was well liked and apart of various charities in College as apart of my non profit Hip Hop Dance organization that raised money for different charities
I know a lot of the factor for both me and her are irreverent to either her or mines unfitness but I more so feel she is too irresponsible to raise my child. We are having difficulties agreeing to how to handle her pregnancy as she wants to continue take a trial and error approach to it. The pregnancy is already a complicated one due to her being underweight and low iron. Its also been said that the baby is slowly developing and in my opinion its due to her weed smoking. She refuses to view me as part of the pregnancy except to use it as a way to get me back. When I try to talk about stuff after the pregnancy she feels as if that’s her decision and HER baby but still wants me to be around her and hang with her and see her and when i express my feelings of not wanting to be with her she threatens to lock me out of my child’s life
I would really like to know my chances of getting custody. I understand this more of a personal issue but i kinda feel that I can provide a more stable, protective and morally right home for my child. Advice is greatly needed and if you have been through a similar situation or know of a similar situation please feel free to put your input in about it. Im trying to draft up a game plan while I’m deployed for 9 months to gain custody of my child. It would greatly appreciated…
