Its still take me a while ..months actually to wrap my head round some of the concepts he talks about.

The idea of debt is an interesting one....bc its man made....being how banks over in england have power over our currency (the federal reserve) and the fact that there is not enough money in exsistance to pay off the debt (we get 10 dollars and have to pay 11 back,where does that extra one come from)...so its def currupt ... we would do a great service to our country to start printing our own money instead of the outsourced currupt model we use now.

I agree. The problem is it needs to be done in baby steps. We've strayed so far from the ideas of liberty and personal responsibility, that there is a generation or two who would not be able to cope if you just took away all the safety nets, and those safety nets require the ability to simply create money out of thin air. As it stands the game is rigged, and unless you're this guy you can't just get up from the table either. the best thing you can do is teach your kids. Teach them to question everything, to get to the why and the how of things. teach them how to be leaders, and if they are going to follow another, to question where they're actually headed. Teach them to use logic and reason rather than make decisions based on emotional impulses. It's pretty well a lost cause for our generation, but if we teach our kids not to buy into the bullshit there might be hope for them to start undoing the damage in their lifetime.

if you reduce value in everything to money gravel that might be one way of looking at it.  The guy doesn't have a wife..so im confused?

If someone grew 10g worth of food every year ..does not that have value to their partner... If someone took care of all their heating needs without giving any to international bankers using the land itself to heat their homes ..does that not have value to their family...if someone is their to raise their kids instead of outsourcing them does that not have value? 

When the dollar deflates and can barely buy food anymore and pensions are reduced to ashes... how much value will their be in the paper or digital score card of commerce.. 

Most oil harvesting nations in the future might not soley use the dollar like they do now (its happening)...then what backs the dollar up? With no oil which from what I can tell is the only thing keeping value in paper and digital us currency... playing this rigged game seems like a poor investment for the future (my guess)....oh sure we all play it a little but we don't need it for everything.  \

 

By all means go all in on the dollar just realize its one way to live and one their are options that seem a lot more honest and wholesome then that rigged system.

just sayin'

Speed...I just don't want to work outside the homestead...I just want the Mrs to support me...reality is that I am moving towards working only part time in the next few years.
