It is rumored that China’s President Xi is not really in power. Meanwhile, U.S.A. President Trump is a lame duck. In both cases, the demise of those leaders is mostly due to bad economies, I argue (Debating that is beyond the scope of this essay).
It is amazing to me how money trumps everything; even Trump. Throughout history, the most powerful tyrants and dictators fell when their economies collapsed. That is why Rome and the Soviet Union fell. It is why communist Venezuela will fall soon, ironically, because Trump is attempting to save his neck as he presides over his own bad economy.
Money and economies, although they are man-made constructs, still behave as if they are like water obeying fluid dynamics and other laws of physics. That is what is interesting to me. They are not tangible and real, like gravity or the speed of light are real, but they are forces that obey universal laws.
Propaganda and deception cannot not alter their course. No one can fake a good economy. China tried for a long time, but reality prevailed. Likewise, Trump is doing a terrible job with the U.S. economy and everyone knows it, despite him hiding the jobs data and lying this week about inflation with bogus data that only measures gasoline.
Covering up the economic data does not stop those forces. The economy is real and tangible. Either goods and services are being made or they are not. If a currency is devalued by inflation, then the actual fuel to make goods and services diminishes.
I think that I just discovered a Nobel Prize worthy economic concept: Money is imaginary and meaningless, per se. However, it perfectly motivates the behavior of humans. How? Human behavior- whether it be creating a product in a factory, pumping oil, or writing software- is what drives the tangible economy. If the currency is worthless, then people won’t work in exchange for the currency. Money and economies do not behave like real laws of physics. They simply measure real world factors. That’s why economic measurements mirror reality and seem to obey universal laws of physics.
Perception is not reality with money. At the macro level, economies thrive or fail based on the strength of currency, without the people using the currency knowing the first thing about finance. The diluted currency translates into diminished purchasing power.
The Roman Empire failed because of inflation. The emperors kept diluting the metal alloys of their coins with cheap copper until the silver denarius became worthless. Then, Romans stopped working when given those coins and foreigners stopped trading for it. Corruption metastasized and the barbarians took over with little opposition.
In China, the world does not want yuan currency. The Chinese stock marks are untrustworthy. So, China cannot get people to work as well as in the U.S. The CCP tried coercing them. That failed. They are currently building huge concentration-camp-cities to prevent uprisings.
Russia is still corrupt. No one wants a ruble currency. People don’t work as well as in the U.S.
In America, people are motivated by a unique Western Culture based on merit and will work at a superior level to other countries. We currently have a disconnect between jobs available and the desire to work. That is because our monetary system has been debased by inflation. The Federal Reserve has been secretly printing trillions of dollars off the books, in addition to trillion-dollar spending bills. We will never pay off $40 Trillion in debt. It is an incomprehensible number. If every one of the 348 million Americans paid $1,000 per year to pay off the debt, it would take 115 years.
The current U.S. dollar is a Ponzi scheme that survives only because better alternatives do not exist, yet. It is only a matter of time before the house of cards comes down. The stock market bubble implosion, which will occur, could start it off.
I think we need to reset the U.S. economy by retiring the $USD and resetting with a new currency. This has occurred around the world many times during hyperinflation. Germany, Venezuela, Bolivia, Zimbabwe, Greece, etc. all had currencies fail and replaced with new ones. If this were to occur now, Americans with cash saving would be hurt, but Americans with debt (i.e., mortgages, student loans, and credit cards) would have their debt erased. Cost of living would drop as inflation vanished. I think Americans would welcome this.
Of course, China and the rest of the world that owns our debt would be stiffed. Great. It would be a powerful way to hurt the evil empires of the world.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 started the U.S. inflation. It is the root of all evil today. The highly unconstitutional Federal Reserve allowed the printing of fake money that devalued the U.S. currency just like the Romans ruining the denarius. It fueled World War One and Two, both benefiting the bankers and the deaths of tens of millions of non-elites. Those wars would not have occurred without central banks.
After 1913 and the creation of the Fed, inflation spiked at least 70% by 1920, after WW1. The Fed kept interest rates too low after WW1, just as it has done since 2009, which allowed rich people to borrow and buy real assets as poor people earned nothing on their cash in the bank. The Roaring Twenties with lavish mansions has been reincarnated, but much worse. When the stock market bubble imploded in 1929, that led to a global depression, the collapse of the German Papiermark, theft of German land by the bankers, and rise of Hitler’s Nazi Third Reich, and WW2.
It is all being repeated now. The WEF Davos crowd wants this to happen. They get rich, and then take over control when WW3 breaks out.
Central banks, such as the Fed, must be abolished. The genocides and sheer satanic evil of the world are all enabled by central banks. We need to start from zero with new currency. We have the superior culture and laws. The USA would flourish if such an action were taken and our enemies would take the brunt of it.
