Thank you for your economic input professor.

Without even getting into the finer details…

I hope you do realize that there is an entire first world power house country with it’s citities, economies, businesses backing up the value of the dollar?

That’s like a guy in a million dollar paid off home asking for $5

“I have $0 in my bank, I don’t have any money or anything to back up my $5 loan”

- Bro what about your million dollar house?

“Oh yeah… that”

Let me know when you can store away $50,000 dollars worth of food “savings” for the “rainy” day.

You people are treating currency like it’s a bad thing.

You do know trade still exists and people trade things all the time? Go start manufacturing and growing things on your own and trade them to other people.

Report back on how well that works out for you.
