Once again, Trump is being handed a good and growing economy on a silver platter

Yea, great economy...

Bankruptcies up 16.2% this year, and business filings are up 40.1%

Corporate layoffs are at a high



Inflation might be down, but it's still higher than pre-Biden and higher than the Fed etc., would like




Unemployment is low only because people have given up looking for a job




So, the Biden administration can turd polish all they want, but the economy sucks. That's the reality of things.
 
Last time Americans could get gold or silver for American money, we were poorer than Mexicans today.
I can obtain both gold and silver anytime I want to, Wally. The current price of gold is $2600/oz in fiat dollars...up from $20/oz when FDR stole the gold and implemented fiat currency.

Today, the dollar has NO backing of any commodity of any kind.
There is no modern country that uses the gold standard.
Iran is on a gold standard right now. China and Russia are moving to a gold standard. The United States was on a gold standard until 1933.
Saying that thousands of years ago, it worked for the economy of the time is meaningless for the modern economy.
Not a bit of it, Wally. A gold and silver standard can easily make use of all the loan markets, savings, telecommunications, etc. There is no such thing as a 'modern' economy. Economies have no time scale. Capitalism is capitalism, regardless of any moment in history.

I want to see it work in some other modern economy, and then we can talk about trying it in our economy.
Oddly enough, Wally, it's ALREADY HAPPENING.

People are already searching around for another currency. They see the writing on the wall concerning the fiat dollar. Some are buying gold and silver, preparing to use THAT for currency (and probably something like copper as well).
 
It is amazing how many people are able to do useful work, and make money, in the current system.
Not really. Capitalism can use anything for money. Due to the falling value of the fiat dollar, however, a lot of that work simply results in no useful profit. In other words, you wind up working more and more for free.
It kind of makes me wonder about the people who claim that we are all parasites keeping them from working hard, and making money.
You are parasites. That's the nature of the socialism you believe in.

Look at the devastation of the SDTC, currently a dictatorship run by leftists:
* Almost all new jobs are in government, NOT private industry! It's welfare.
* People are fleeing the SDTC so fast you can't get enough rental trucks. Rental companies are PAYING people to deadhead trucks back to the SDTC for the next batch of people moving out.
* High taxes and burdensome regulations have turned the SDTC into a wasteland, filled with abandoned ranches and farms. It's a sad sight to see. I don't like entering the SDTC for that reason.
* Crime is rampant in the cities. People openly loot and pillage, homeless shit on the sidewalks and many are like a scene out a zombie movie, tripped up on Trank. They just stand there, drooling.
* Hollywood is becoming less and less relevant as the days go by.
* The SDTC is now incapable of generating their own power. They import almost all of it on two heavily overloaded lines.
* The SDTC has insufficient water supplies, due to the systematic destruction of dams and reservoirs.

Since Biden and Kamala were installed (they weren't elected), the value of the fiat dollar has fallen considerably (about 35%). People are finding it increasingly difficult to even pay for groceries or a meal at McDonalds. Wages have NOT yet caught up with the falling dollar.
* Importing millions of illegal aliens (an act of treason) and putting them on welfare has resulted in violent Venezuelan gangs, increased drugs, and a marked increase in violent criminals.
* Interference in the appliance market, the car market, the energy market, the plumbing market, etc. This is fascism, and in some cases, communism.
* Businesses DESTROYED. They aren't coming back. Those people are thrown out of work. The only significant hiring has been in government.
* Businesses interfered with by Woke requirements. This is again, fascism, and results in businesses losing support of their customers.
* Sexual perversions shoved in people's faces as "normal".
* The encouragement of the abortion of children, mutilation of children, and indoctrinating children (instead of educating them). Democrats HATE children!
* The interference with women's sports, women to abort their own offspring and suffer the consequences of that, and racism. Democrats HATE women!

Democrats lost for a reason!
 
Worth noting I have never had a golden parachute.

Most people are able to work hard and earn money. There are definitely more than enough jobs out there. Your problems seem completely psychological.
Government jobs are a form of welfare, Wally.
 
Yes, they bloviated many lies and then, after calling Trump Hitler, a existential threat to Democracy and a petty tyrant, welcome him back into the White House.

They should change the definition of MORON in the dictionary to simply: Democrat. Everyone will know what it means. ;)
No. Change the definition to Trump. Everyone will know what it means.
 
Iran is on a gold standard right now.
Inflation in Iran is currently 31.7%. Last year, it was 40.7%. Either Night is wrong about Iran being on the gold standard, or the gold standard is failing badly. Either way, he has found no country on Earth following his suggested course, and it working.

The United States was on a gold standard until 1933.
Yes, we mentioned that. 90 years ago, when we were poorer than Mexicans are today, we were on the gold standard. Now come up with someone living a modern lifestyle and money on the gold standard.
 
Inflation in Iran is currently 31.7%.
Nope. An ounce of gold is still worth an ounce of gold. Iran does not use fiat currency.
Last year, it was 40.7%. Either Night is wrong about Iran being on the gold standard, or the gold standard is failing badly. Either way, he has found no country on Earth following his suggested course, and it working.
You are just making up random numbers again, Wally.
Yes, we mentioned that. 90 years ago, when we were poorer than Mexicans are today,
Who is 'we'? This sounds like the Marxist 'we' again.
The United States is not poorer than Mexico and never was.
we were on the gold standard.
And it worked beautifully. No central bank. No ability to for the government to manipulate money. Credit systems and loans self regulated. It became the most respected currency in the world.
Now come up with someone living a modern lifestyle and money on the gold standard.
RQAA
 
And yet Rial (the currency of Iran) is a fiat currency.

When I asked you for somewhere in the modern world where you scheme is working, you came back with Iran. That is not the success story I would pick.
all fiat currencies in history have failed.

you people extract real assets with fake money, keep the assets and destroy the currency.

that's whats bankers do.

you're runaway insane kleptocratic fascists, rushing us towards ww!!! because you're insane.
