Regulating inflation.

Just to be clear, are you saying the state's "logic" or logic in general? Would love to hear your logic. "Might is right" is the principle of the progressive.

That makes little sense. What is the benefit of killing stateless people? Anyway, it's speculation.

 

Is this thread still about "regulating inflation"?

 

Well...

Article VI of The United States Constitution states that the "Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all treaties made or shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme Law of the Land."

I didn't say citizenship...I said citizenship, business and visitors all must obey the Constitution and applicable local and state laws.

Statists bunch of patriotic sophistry

When you label and name-call I'm done...

 

USA is rich in land, resources, and people. Without a huge military we would have been conquered and enslaved 100 times, and civilization on earth would have been lost.

 

the benefit would be enslavement and theft. A child would know this-right?

 

logic in general. It is logical to defend yourself
with a military. A child would know this, right?

 

You can't enslave dead people.

I'm curious. As an extraordinarily powerful state, why isn't the US simply killing, stealing, and enslaving all of the other, tiny, weak nations out there? They aren't stateless, but they certainly could never stand up to the US. The same for the Chinese, why aren't they enslaving everyone around them? They seem to be trading(!) with Africa and providing wages in exchange for labor. How can that be, when, according to you, big nations enslave and kill everyone who is mostly unprotected? It's not as if a stateless society lacks defense. A military is just made up of people, after all.

 

I don't know. I don't defend myself with a military. When has the US ever defended the people of the US with a military? Possibly in 1812. Most of the time, it uses the military to defend the interests of politicians, war merchants, and oil emirates. You certainly do have a chlid's view of the military and what you think your rulers do for you.

 

By whom? You think it's easy just to waltz in and conquer people who don't want to be conquered? Oh, you'll say the Russians! They could barely hold Hungary. Yes, your right, a child could express your logic. Because it is a child-like view.

 

actually extremely easy it has happened to most nations many many times. This is something you learn from reading history. Did the idea of reading history ever occur to you??

 

actually it started with the British and now includes ISIS, Iran and many others who would kill and enslave us all. This is why your average kindergartener understands the value of a huge military that saves our lives every day.

 

Pear Harbor comes to mind, 9/11 comes to mind, 1+1=2

 

after you kill or enslave them you can rape their wives or enslave them and take their property. Is this really over your head?

 

Inflation. Anyone?

 

Inflation is an increase in the money supply. One of the effects of inflation is a decrease in the price of money, which is reflected as an increase in the price of all other goods relative to money. This "price inflation" is often mistaken as the cause, rather than the effect, of monetary inflation.

 

wrong, prices can only go up if there is more money printed with which to buy products. Do you understand?

 

Prices can go up when demand increases and people are willing to reduce spending in other areas to be able to acquire something they find a greater need or want of, which can have negative effect on some products which would simply see a loss of consumers were they to follow suit and raise their prices as well. Increasing the price of a product which is experiencing a decrease in demand would not be a rational solution and more likely would only be possible if the costs of production could be reduced to remain profitable by the diminishing number of consumers.

Monetary inflation, on the other hand, eventually results in the recognition of a diminished value of the currency with which transactions are made and applies more equally to valuating ALL things based on the current value of the currency relative to a previous value. Doubling the amount of currency in existence does not immediately halve its value in the market place, but lays the groundwork for inflation to occur over time as the new currency is put into circulation.

 

exactly so if some prices go up and some go down there is no inflation. Inflation can only occur when more money is printed.

 

It would depend on what it is that prices increase as some things are weighted more heavily than others. Inflation does not necessarily effect everyone equally. For example, if meat prices were to increase 10% and vegetable prices decrease 10%, you might say there was no inflation. But a vegetarian would experience a lower cost while a meat eater would experience a higher cost, and others might experience no change at all by reducing their consumption of meat and increasing their consumption of vegetables.
Understand?

 

actually inflation is rise in the general price level and has nothing to do with individual items like meat and vegetables. Sorry to rock your world.

 

And what is the general price level comprised of?
What I was pointing out is the fact that regardless of governments inflation figures, each individual experiences inflation based on the basket of goods they consume.

Please refrain from the childish "Sorry to rock your world.", "Now do you understand?", "1+1=2" comments if you wish to be presumed an adult.

actually wealthy people are not allowed to skew the market and still call it a free market. Free-market is always beautiful and free. Now if you think you have a point then why are you so afraid to give us an example of skewing a free market and somehow it remainis a free-market .

The same effect is also caused by a decrease in available goods and services.
