You and I Will Pay the Piper

Last week, I read the following: “What if we told you those dollar bills in your wallet were not money? Well, they are not. They are the national currency of the United States.” The bills in our wallets only have value because we believe there is also a corresponding value of gold stored in a safe place for each of the bills we possess. Our currency is really IOU’s distributed by our government!

I often purchase a common chocolate wafer snack bar. Recently, this bar doubled in price. Why did a twenty five cent snack suddenly become a fifty cent snack? Please tell me that you didn’t immediately scream: ‘Company Greed’. Wrong! It happened because the value of the national currency all Americans hold on faith in our wallets is declining. More unsecured “Federal Reserve Notes” in circulation equals less value. More currency in circulation results in higher prices for everything including the cost of doing business. You have noticed this trend, haven’t you?

Our government is daily stealing our currency’s value, stealing our future and stealing our faith and trust. We are continuously being sold the insane notion that our nation’s multiple trillions of dollars of debt is of no matter because we can simply print more. “How do you develop a strategy against insanity? How do you fight those who act against their own self interest? What weapons can penetrate the ignorance which our elected progressive leaders wrap around themselves like a proud mantle?” 
Understand this: Our faith in our elected progressive leaders will continue to be used against us and it is not them but us who will ultimately pay the piper his due.
