Then explain to me how I don't know what I'm talking about.

What backs up our money? Gold and credit. We have far more credit than we do gold in Fort Knox. It IS just glorified paper, a promissory note by the Treasury Department. (edit: I couldn't remember at the time, but this is called Fiat money or Fiat standard or something like that)

I never said we actually do print more money to cover debt I said we CAN. What is it with you and picking out 3 words of a 50 word post to argue with?
