Savers are ruining our economy...according to the world's preeminent financial paper. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Savings is the only true road to wealth. We cannot spend ourselves to prosperity. Capital savings will put people into a secure position again; where borrowing to spend has threatened our way of life.

Hyperinflation destroys

56696@aiga.org — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 22:28:21 -0500

The Zimbabwean central bank has to print $200 million notes days after creating the $100 million note! Hyperinflation at its worst has led to riots, destruction and death. This kind of out-of-control monetary creation destroys societal values. Prices change daily. Ludwig Von Mises wrote about this extensively...having witnessed it in Pre-WW2 Germany.

This headline is wrong, however. CNN does not understand economics. Zimbabwe's government created the hyperinflation, and perpetuates it by printing more and larger bills.

YES! Wisconsin money!!!!!

GO BADGERS! Make your own money...reject these Federal Reserve notes which are being printed so fast they will soon be worthless. Money is the creation of individuals...as a way to facilitate trade. It was not created by government...but by individual necessity.
