Point of information: without the petrodollar and reserve currency system, the US would have long be in hyperinflation too with all the money-printing and conjuring.

Point of information: seriously? the US often initiates such sanctions in standard quid-pro-quo diplomacy.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI don't know about hyperinflation, but without the Fed bank the stock market wouldn't be anywhere near as high as it is, the U3 employment number wouldn't be as low as it is (even though we all know the U3 doesn't accurately represent true employment or the true state of the economy), and the measly 2% average GDP number would probably be in the negative.
Originally posted by seanD View PostProblem with that statement is that the US is not entirely NOT a socialist country with a central bank that doesn't control the economy for political purposes (Yellen initiating policies for Obama, and now Powell clearly doing it for Trump). The difference is the size (hence our unprecedented debt), and the fact we have the global reserve currency.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostThey're all rather useless or inaccurate figures. GDP is also mostly useless as economic indicator without accounting for debt, since GDP can always be pushed up by borrowing to spend.
Right, the Cold War rhetoric is just pointless.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostYour post is worded oddly, especially with the multiple instances of "not" obscuring its meaning ("not entirely NOT a socialist country with a central bank that doesn't") that I am honestly confused as to exactly what position it is taking. Could you clarify what you mean?
