So scrolling through the news other day, and just found an ingenious solution to fix the economy of America, suggested by a government official who shall go unnamed. He basically stated this since we need more money, and we control the U.S. Treasury, why don't we just print more money. Really, you have to applaud him, he identified a problem, and created his own, original, creative, solution. Too bad that the certain solution comes with a shitload of cons.
There are only two words that I need to say to prove my point. Zimbabwe and Inflation. So to answer the case, because of inflation. Not even on a normal scale, more like mega-inflation. A decade ago something like toilet paper would cost $417. For a single square of toilet paper. The entire sheet would be something around $150,000. Yeah it was really crazy. In the year 2009 they stopped printing their own money and realized it would be best if they switched to the U.S. currency. So basically it ditched all of its own currency leaving large amounts of money completely worthless.
The exact same thing happened in Versailles in the 1920's. For them there was so much unneeded money that they started using the money to build kites, to use as toilet paper, and as makeshift plates. All using $100 bills. That is how worthless a dollar became at that time. That's a signal that it things are taking a turn for the worse.
