Believe it. It makes NO sense to let government's create money willy nilly. The never could do dat. If they do dat there is NO stopping them. (Argentina's money woes a case in point.) Money represents what business needs to do its business. Guvmint in part is a business too, so it goes and get what it needs to do its business. But it cannot get more than the people can produce. The way to limit this is to limit credit and get the money from the bankers or the people the way kings and tyrants always did. In the olden daze kings merely overtaxes and stole money to expand the empire to suit the dreams and their vanity. Hence the fall of the Roman empire which developed mafias who evaded guvmint taxes by living on nobility's land. Hence the Don or Padrone who governed affairs of the rural estates. Hence also the eternal wars of the Plantagenets with their saxon subjects and their confiscation by ever-growing bodies of law tending to subvert the Charters.. Magna etc hence also my name.. No, we must war against authority and quill money, and tend instead towards banker money as the lesser of the two weevils who eat away at our cotton wallets. The whole science of lawyering was invented by King John to get around clauses in the charter which kept him from seizing land so he could start foreign wars. This same Charter and its antecedent laws was denied by our liberal government in order to set up a new order where they could command the wealth of the nation unto themselves and their friends.

We must fight for our right to party. The money belongs to the business, not to some elected officialdom. If they want money they can go to the exchequer who will check the cupboard. That is what he is there for.

You have to understand what money is. It represents credit which can command a unit of labour. Once it begins to represent credit to command a dream of a political empire it goes the way of the Roman empire. Overextended and ever deeper into debt.
