The problem in our economy has nothing to do with the amount of money. Increasing or decreasing the money supply only really changes the rate of inflation. Now, if we, the US, as a whole had an increased employment rate, however, we would increase our rate of spending because more people with jobs means more people spending money. This would actually add onto the employment because more and more people would need to be employed to satisfy the demand of goods in the country. With more and more people defaulted on debt, many problems have been created dealing with their financial situations which causes more people to want jobs. However, because we are in a recession, the job marktet is actually decreasing causing much unemployment which means less spending which then translates to even more unemployment. So, go ahead, follow whoever says create more money. I'm sure that will be great for economy. But seriously, try reading an economics text book before

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow i didn't even read all of this not because I'm stupid just cuz I all saw was asdklfa;sldkflsjdbf;oihefoiuabsdfispeakshit that's all i saw

Actually, there is more to it following. And you didn't even read all of your own comment? Because that is what this would refer to. I believe you meant to say, "I didn't even read all of that." Using the singular distal demonstrative, "that," makes it refer to my previous comment in that it is not right here. Here in the case of your comment only includes your comment. So if you refer to your own comment you would use "this," the singular proximal demonstrative.

It's true, you can only print as much money as the gold that your government owns in the reserve bank.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The banks do everything online, they quit the gold standard over a hundred years ago

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, we don't follow the gold standard anymore. Money only has fiat value now. Money is intrinsically useless; is used only as a medium of exchange. It is only worth what the government says it is worth, and if they print more, it will be worthless. Just look at hyperinflation in post WWI Germany, or Zimbabwe, or Russia during the cold war. All of these hyperinflations were caused by governments printing too much money.

Yay, someone knows that American currency is no longer backed up by gold. It's been fiat money since 1971. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money

INFLATION Ever study the hyperinflation in post-WWI Germany? It's interesting. They owe a massive ammount of money in war debts so they just print more money. By 1923 the exchange rate was almost 1 trillion German marks to the dollar.

It's not about how much money there is, it's about how much each bill is worth. The value of a dollar has gone down in the recent years, and the more money we add, the more the value decreases.

Ok OP, let me simplify this down to an intelligence level that you can understand. A countries dollar is only worth anything if the country has gold to back it up. In other words, think of the gold as a pie, and the money is pieces of the pie. If you print more money, you get more pieces of pie, but the pieces get smaller the more you cut them.

More like an increase in money supply causes interest rates to drop, which creates more spending and hence inflation. This discourages other countries from investing which then causes the demand for the currency to drop and THEN the exchange rate to drop...

It IS a common mistake... Or you're a troll Obviously, the economy is going to get worse if we print more money. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but there's enough explanations on top.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Guys, stop being rude. I'm sure we've all asked this at one point. You see, the more money you print, the less it's worth. It's like if there were only 5 chocolate bars left on the planet. They'd be worth a ton. However, if there were 5 BILLION chocolate bars, they wouldn't be worth nearly as much.

Does the word 'inflation' mean anything to kids these days? Oh yeah, just print more money and pay people more, that definitly WON'T put prices of basic neccessities way up. Milk definitly won't cost $50 a gallon. Bread won't cost $100. Is this a serious question? Please tell me this is a joke or a troll or something. I learned this shit when I was in 6th grade.

You're the one with Bieber in your username :] But, why does that matter? To put it simply, if there is 1 chocolate chip cookie amongst 25 kids, they would argue a lot over it. It would be worth a lot. If there were 50 cookies, they wouldn't argue, and the cookies would be worth less.
