It was war that brought the world out of the great depression.Not congress.Not the americans.God forbid we should give the germans credit for it.We do tend to blame them for starting the war.The german currency crashed to zero in the 1920's due to hyperinflation and in the 1940's when the german government debased their own currency after the war.Suicides happened as people realized their savings had vanished overnight.Thanks to their government.triffid

     Whenever a profit is made where does the money come from that provides this profit.   Lets not even get into people buying and selling money.  Like a guy buys a loaf of bread and then sells the loaf of bread for more then he bought it for.  Where is that extra money going to come from.  It has to come from either printing more money or increasing this thing called debt.  So either this debt conception grows or the money supply grows as long as we have profit.   Its just the way it is.  Manipulated recessions and depressions are the products of those that havent seen the light.  As more people arrive on our planet there will be more demands for profit so the money supply and debt will need to increase.  Its no big thing.  Just print the fucking money and jot down the debt and lets get on with creation.

    Go one step further.  Could the depression have been mainipulated so as to percipitate a global conflict.  Could this depression be manipulated to precipitate another global confict.

With respect to Replies #'s 637-641,
I agree with most of your points.  However, greed for it's own sake is self defeating.  Nobody gets to have it all because they merely desire it.  The "Collapse" will come because of it.

WWII did bring the world out of depression because people were jolted to action by impending Fascist death squads killing minorities in Europe and we would have been next.  It may happen again if or when the Jihadis win in SW Asia.  Then, they'll turn their attention to us.

The Feds had better get their act together like they did in WWII, or the Muslim extremists will do the same to us that the Fascists did to Jews in Europe.
