    It could have.

    What typically happens when the Fed increases interest rates to slow the velocity of money down?

    Tax breaks are not "stimulus checks".

    None of your sources have proven that there were more than 30,000 currencies, except for the brochure you posted that doesn't cite any sources.

    You and akphidelt have yet to prove that there was any so-called "complete mess" related to competing currencies being allowed to exist. Until you do, it's safe to assume that it never happened.

    I'm not familiar with much of Rothbard's work.

    Thanks for the info.

    Prove that it did. And then after you do that, you can prove that balanced budgets cause negative economic effects in the long term.

    Economic growth slows down.

    No they're not. Tax rebates do not amount to the government sending you government money, they amount to the government sending you back your money that it doesn't require.

    Again buccus

    The so called interest/inflation

    Is so conveniently parallels the times when

    That fiat monies are issued ...as too make them look better

    And more stable they aren't ....because they are manipulated

    By the first takers an passed onto the suckers how can't

    Buy what the currency could buy when the first takers had it

    Nice reall genius aren't chu

    if you had been following the debate, you'd realize the point is that was a time when many competing currencies were in existence and it didn't work

    Anything before the Constitution was written is irrelevent as far as I'm concerned.

    Yes actually I have been following

    And I learned several things I didn't know

    Be that as It may ....the value is obviously lowered when said times in
    your charts, shows the MANIPULATION OF CURRENCY VIA CENTRAL BANKING

    IT IS PLUE PERFECT, ,TOO SHOW WHY CENTRAL BANKS

    PUSH INTEREST RATES FALSELY IN DIRECTION NOT NEEDED

    AND HAS THEREFORE LOWERED THE VALUE OF CURRENCY BY ARTIFICAL ACTIONS

    IT ISN'T THT THEY WANTD A END RESULT ITS THE RESULTS OF THEIR ACTIONS

    THE ONLY ONES WHO'VE BENEFITTED ARE THE ONES WITH 1ST. TAKE OF

    SAID CURRENCIES ONCE IT GETS PASSED DOWN THEN IT BECOMES LESS

    VALUED AN LOWERS ITS PURCHASING POWER

    It looks like inflation rates have never been below zero since the 1950's , which is exponential growth.

    notice all the post-constitutional volatility

    that's probably a projection of your failure to get a formal economic education


    the combination of deep troughs and high peaks are the graphic signature of volatility

    hmmmm ? high volatility since the 1950"s ?
    That is counter to your argument of stability. Thank you.

    Despite your lack of math skills, continuous positive growth rates, in the presence or absence of volatility, are still exponential.

    that's just the opposite of what the graph shows, after 1950 everything is above 0% and relatively stable

    -20% to +20% in a few short years, like on the left side of the graph, is extreme volatility

    yes, everything after 1950 is above 0%.
    What part of compounding growth does your brain not understand ?
    Do you need a little remedial math ?
    let me help.
