#1 Tipper, it's unfair to pick on the feable minded, shame on you. Either that or she is a product of our fine public education system or both.

#6 Apparently they never looked at economics. Look at ancient times when gold and silver was used. When a rich mine, or plunder came back and suddenly everyone had gold, prices went through the roof. Then when the gold was gone, people starved. I think the same princible would apply in real money.

#7 I don't know which is dumber, mistaking $1 billion for $1 (by saying that $1 billion can be given to each of 6 billion people, which would be $6 quintillion or $6e18) or thinking that giving everyone $1 would be meaningful.

#8 Hell, I remember when McGovern was gonna give everybody a hundred bucks back in '72. Or was it a million? Well, it was a long time ago and we all know how George ended up...

#12 mmurray,

You needen't go back to ancient times. Look at what hap[pened to Spain when they only got gold and silver from the new Hispanosphere. And Britain got no gold or silver, but the Anglosphere.
