You got exactly Half of that sentence right. The 2nd Half.
As for the first part, you seem to overlook the problems that would cause and how they helped lead us into this mess.
I knew someone would bring that up. I said that because there is no growth in the us econ.
If the people want the goodies, you have to get the money. You can borrow it, print it, or tax to get it.
They are borrowing... still not enough to cover future wants, they are printing it... buying bonds to keep the rate down to borrow at low rates.. cant last forever...
Or tax.. to get it.. im saying if people keep screaming for X amount of wants.. they should pay for it... not borrow and spend.. the fair way is to tax.
I want the gov... to spend less.. and cut back.. so we dont have to raise taxes..
I think taxes are too high right now... and gov.. too big...
What people seem to want is all this stuff with low taxes.. impossible.
If one wants lower taxes.. make gov.. smaller.. borrow less..

I'll put this in your unique stlye:

....But as long... As we are printing... Already....
Let's just stop the spending... And print... one last batch.... until the debt is zero....
No need to harm the economy.... by raising taxes... while we are hurting....

Hey, im not saying raise taxes now. I'm saying at some point you have to.. if you want to reduce the debt load.
If the people want lower taxes, it should be paid for by reducing gov benefits. Not borrowing cash at 40% levels.
Make the gov smaller, borrow less.. no need to raise the taxes.
I think your idea is sound, to inflate money is a powerful tool, however do you really think the us gov can cut back spending that much?
What about all the obligations?
If you could do your idea, which is.. cut back gov big time.. inflate qe3 (Full Stop)
Could be a win, but i think the programs will keep going up, what is it at: borrow XXX Million Plus Per Hour just at the fed level?
If the people want X amount of goodies from the gov should be X amount of taxes, no borrowing, or printing Trillions to pay for it.

Honest Ron has answered every concern in your post about 10k times over the last 20 years... And he's still sure he can offer everyone in the nation the option to opt out of income taxes altogether, going back to pre-FDR tax levels. -All the while still honoring our obligations to those needy ppl on welfare/medicare/SS/other FDR fuckups.
You were a school teacher?

One day, I'm going to spend an unbelievable amount of time gathering data on an opposing political party (that I don't care for in the slightest bit) and we are going to have an outright battle.
