Welcome to Lawrence Webb of UKIP and any other new comers
1. Subjects raised by those attending
2. The Broken Window Fallacy
Point taken, but when the government creates credit debt-free and spends it into circulation on public works, it DOES benefit the economy. See for example
http://www.financialreform.info/f_r_gordon_browns_poker_lesson.html
and http://www.financialreform.info/f_r_money_medium_exchange.html
the state, and only the state, has both the right and the duty to create credit, which derives its value from the goods and services which back it up.
