Ok, not actually print, but simply create it in computers somewhere.Well far too many still suffer from the 'what I want to believe' mindset...rather than the fact based mindset.
The US has n e v e r ever printed up money. The US will n e v e r print up money.
I guess it is just a far too easy and intellectually vacuous for the uninformed to keep on that even though it thus...serves no argument.
To help everybody's understanding of this charge, printing up money means actually creating new currency, with new serial numbers and entering them into circulation.
Give this some slightly interesting thought. The US has according to 'printing up money' crowd. printed up trillion$. So ok, let's try ONE Trillion in a year.
That's 10 Billion $100 bills in a year. (by the GPO's Bureau of Engraving and Printing) So if we give them time, [they] would need to be pretty fast.
That's over 27 million new bills every day, NOT even close to possible. (over 1.1 million new bills per hour 24/7)
What people too often do, is to think of the evils the-other-side is doing and try to paint a picture of doom and gloom around it.
Pick one, Bush II, Obama, ok even all of them gong back to Reagan...****, Hoover !! NONE presided over a fed or treasury printing up money,
yet partisans try to claim it to try to demonize the govt. at the time, into the position of being the whole problem.
Now even though over the last 40 years, the repubs seem to love spending your children's and your children's children's money, none has
ever 'printed up' [sic] money. That's how and why we call it borrowing...debt and the repubs are determined to party on it for as far as the eye can see.
We have more dollars in circulation than are printed.
