Welcome to Call to Decision Subject: FIAT Money is ROOT cause, NOT Sub-Prime Loans
When T-Sec Paulson was asked today
what's the "root of the problem" he stated that it was the
sub-prime mortgage lending defaults.
The sub-prime defaults are NOT the "root" cause -- they are only the interim cause. The root cause is FIAT money. The root cause is the so-called easy money the Federal Reserve creates by monetizing debt. Where would the banks get the money to lend if it wasn't monetized in the first place? These banks printed up the FIAT MONEY in the first place and LENT that fiat money (amplified by the unethical practice of fractional reserve) TO the sub-prime borrowers (i.e. risky borrowers). These borrowers defaulted and thus we have the events of today. If money is backed by an asset like gold or silver, it places a check and balance on the supply and value of that money. Money backed (i.e., redeemable) in gold or silver is NOT fiat currency -- it's REAL money.
When money is backed by gold or silver, banks aren't in a position to
print so much of it up thus they CAN'T lend it to risky borrowers.
That's the ENTIRE POINT of fiat money. Again, it's a check and
balance on the LENDER. Arrogant banks don't LIKE checks and
balances placed on them by citizens.
OF COURSE it's tempting for banks to lend money that's NOT real.
When a banking system can create money out of thin air, and lend this
"easy money" to practically anyone, are you surprised
abuses will inevitably happen? FIAT MONEY IS NOT REAL.
An unconstitutional system of fiat money is going to INVITE
imprudent lending. And thus we have the events of today.
OF COURSE it's stupid to securitize bank loans! How stupid can one get? Answer: as GREEDY as one can get. Securitizing FIAT bank loans is as dumb as it gets because it creates a MORAL HAZARD that's AMPLIFIED by the inevitable risk of FIAT money. Isn't this MONEY 101? Is everyone out there grad of COMMON SENSE 101 except WallStreeters?
But as Everyone will learn in MELTDOWN 101, the class on Fiat
money that's now in session -- EASY money isn't FREE money. We will
ALL have to PAY for this FREE money and the rampant
greed/stupidity that caused it.
The Founders knew all this.
We either live in a free market system or we don't. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't have a sys that's half free or half regulated. Oh the talking heads and flunkees of MELTDOWN 101 will try to sell you a hybrid system so they can keep their tentacles into the money pot, but it's like putting impurities into an integrated chip -- it will inevitably overheat and meltdown.
Right now the banks and the gov want to have their cake and eat it
too. They want a free MARKET SYSTEM but they also want to REGULATE
that system. When the Fed sets the price of money: it's
REGULATING the system. When the Fed sets the AMOUNT of money: it's
REGULATING the system. When T-Sec Paulson bails out FANNIE MAE
and FREDDIE MAC: he's REGULATING the system by the mere fact that
he has brought the government involvement into the system.
In business, it's IMPOSSIBLE to have a partnership between a
government and a capitalist entity. Why? Because the modus
operandi and core PURPOSE of both entities is different.
Governments are NOT profit-making entities. They can't think in
terms of the ACCOUNTING FORMULA or P&Ls. Free enterprise
capitalistic businesses ARE profit-making entities. They
ONLY think in terms of the ACCOUNTING FORMULA or P&Ls.
Also, govs don't think in terms of QUALITY, they mainly think in terms
of QUANTITY and cost. They are used to spending as much money as
they want because they can get this money by borrowing or taxes.
Companies, on the other hand have to think in terms of strategic
use of their assets and market. In short, the two animal
don't mix. And right now you have the Federal Reserve System, a
QUASI-private, hybrid entity in there printing up all the money and
regulating the one commodity that all the other commodities in
existence are based upon - money. Is it any wonder we are
at the exact position we should be?
GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE ITS HANDS OFF THE ECONOMY TOTALLY. We are in
this mess NOT because of too LITTLE regulation, but because ANY
regulation that manipulates the FREE MARKET from doing its job on a
day-by-day basis is unwise.
NO GOV OR REGULATOR OR OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE CAN BE AS SMART AS
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE MAKING INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS IN THE FREE MARKET,
WHETHER A MARKET OF MONEY, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!
Now all the "geniuses" at Lehman are being exposed as the MORONS they are. Now all the "geniuses" at Fannie Mae are being exposed as the MORONS they are. Now all the "geniuses" at Freddie Mac are being exposed as the MORONS they are. Now all the "geniuses" at Merrill Lynch are being exposed as the MORONS they are. Now all the "geniuses" at AIP are being exposed as the MORONS they are. Now all the "geniuses" at Bear Sterns were exposed as the MORONS they are.
Now all the "geniuses" on
SQUAWK BOX are being exposed as the MORONS they are.
If MONEY were Constitutional, and these idiot's read the Constitution, they would know its value should NOT be arbitrarily be set by an OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE at the Fed. Its value should be REGULATED BY THE MARKET. If it was, we would never have the build-up of stress we have seen today in the financial markets. Letting LEHMAN BROS go was the right choice. If the Fed does NOT make the loan to AIP, that will also be the right choice, because ultimately the taxpayers pay for all the money the Fed creates to lend through inflation (i.e. price rises). Not touching interest rates is also the right choice. I think it's very strange you never hear the talking heads mention the word FIAT money. None of them want to admit THERE ARE SERIOUS SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS AND THE MAJOR ONE IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM ITSELF. Seems this is the criteria as to where the bailout line is drawn ... but hasn't it always been the grand justifier.
FACT: THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DESERVES TO CRASH BECAUSE IT'S ROTTEN TO THE
CORE.
FACT: IT'S INEVITABLE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL CRASH BECAUSE IT'S ROTTEN TO THE CORE... UNLESS the talking heads, the cits and the gov wise up to the intent of the Founders. And their intent was to have ZERO FIAT money.
FIAT money and the Fed got us into this situation. These emergencies
will NEVER go away until people realize what the REAL source of the
problem is. And it's not BOGUS problems as cited by
traitor-to-the-Constitution, T-Sec Paulson.
