Hey Arius - The Answer to Your Question is.....

By Rob-33704 - Aug 29th, 2008 at 11:50 am EDT

Because economic theory is built upon the principle of scarcity and though there may be a glut of something it is still considered "scarce" if it is also desirable.

Say for instance, new cars at a dealership. They aren't scarce but they are expensive because they are desirable

But the real answer to your question is that the federal reserve, the world bank, and the international monetary fund loan money to governments based on their promise to continue taxing their citizens.

What other guarrantee is there to back up fiat money?

Sarah Palin

By Rob-33704 - Aug 29th, 2008 at 11:08 am EDT

Sarah Palin appears to be be a good choice in terms of ber background and personal life..

The debates will both feature youth and vigor vs less youthful and supposedly less vigorous candidates.

It is undoubtedly a desperate gamble by the McCain campaign - but what other choice do they really have other than to gamble.

McCain's VP Choice May Be.................

Excerpt courtesy of Wikipedia

Sarah Heath Palin (born February 11, 1964) is the current Governor of Alaska, and a member of the Republican Party. She is the youngest and first female governor of Alaska. Brought to statewide attention because of her whistleblowing on ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders,[1] she won election in 2006 by first defeating the incumbent governor in the Republican primary, then a former Democratic Alaskan governor in the general election. On August 29, the Associated Press reported that "speculation [has] moved to [Palin as a] darkhorse" pick for the vice president running mate slot by presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.[2] The CNBC news service is now reporting that Palin will in fact be the GOP vice-presidential nominee

Spending and Social Programs

By Rob-33704 - Aug 29th, 2008 at 9:35 am EDT

Thanks to the bush administration we now understand that the funding of vitally needed social programs is not a problem.

We can simply print the money we need.

The republicans will surely scream about this but if they can freely spend fiat currency for what they want then we certainly can as well,

Leon Trotsky vs The Fabian Society

By Rob-33704 - Aug 29th, 2008 at 9:14 am EDT

Leon Trotsky believed Fabianism was an attempt to save capitalism from the working class. He wrote, "throughout the whole history of the British Labour movement there has been pressure by the bourgeoisie upon the proletariat through the agency of radicals, intellectuals, drawing-room and church socialists and Owenites who reject the class struggle and advocate the principle of social solidarity, preach collaboration with the bourgeoisie, bridle, enfeeble and politically debase the proletariat.”

The Glass Bead Collective

By Rob-33704 - Aug 28th, 2008 at 6:17 pm EDT

They say their purpose is:

To stimulate viewers to perceive the porous membrane between themselves and their environment as well as other people in order to spur them to participate and experiment in a creative spirit with their surroundings, perceptions and continue playing the Glass Bead Game. The urgency of our times compels us to directly engage the public in the game through diverse audiovisual methods.

To fulfill our mission GBC draws on the creative vision, collaborative effort, enthusiasm and wide-ranging talent of its members to engage in a direct democracy experiment through the act of creating pieces together by interweaving diverging narratives. The majority of our projects are undertaken on a non-for-profit basis.

They sound real dangerous - NOT.

By Rob-33704 - Aug 28th, 2008 at 5:21 pm EDT

What do you suppose they mean by that?
