ROFL, quick less in ecomics. If you over simulate the economy with money that has no real valve. That money becomes worthless. Take a look at the civil war era every state was printing money, most of it was worthless.

Did you even read the OP? :P

I to the n to the FLATION. What does that spell? INFLATION.

If there is more money in circulation the value of the currency goes down. Before you decide to question people like Obama who understand the economy, learn a bit about it yourself. Printing more money will not help because the US Debt would STILL BE THERE.

The products that you buy would also increase in price(to keep supplying the consumer), and if all the companies, shops,etc decide to raise there prices straight away the USA would have hyper inflation and the US Dollar value(exchange rates) would go down. If you want to know more, read this informative article.

Or we could just do this:

It makes about as much sense.

Yeah but I'm guessing he still knows the basics like inflation.

the federal reserve already prints a s*** ton of money each day. they just destroy most of it.

Actually a higher inflation target would probably be beneficial right now, considering our debt overhang.

TC, ever hear of a little thing called 'inflation'?

all they have to do is print the money secretly and not tell anyone so nobody knows money was printed and the dollaer wont drop therefore we have lots of money to help americans struggling and help economy and the dollar wont fall why dont the stupid congress do this already?!

He has. He mentions it in the OP, but his way to fix that little problem is just as dumb as his main idea.

That happens to me every once in a while with those troll science comics too. "Hey, why wouldn't that work?"

So hypothetically, what happens if i break into the Federal Reserve, print money off secretly for myself, and then use that money. Assume that I turned off the counter mechanism so that no one knows I printed off the money. When I spend this money at a store, the store doesn't know that money has been printed off, so they don't inflate prices. How have I affected the economy?

If one person did it, it wouldn't matter. But say everyone in your town does it. Now the local businesses raise their prices because people have more money. The only way TC's idea would work is if a very small amount of people did it, but that wouldn't solve any problems.

If your giving money to Citzens I think they will know you have mass printed money. This is a absolutely terrible idea. Also I'm sure most store owners are US Citizens in the USA.

What if instead of spending it on local businesses, we purchased from outside the U.S.? What happens then?

Are you referring to your town? because if the whole country did that (which would be impossible, butwe will let it slide) the other countries would naturally raise their prices, because their customers are willing to pay more. Your whole town could get away with it, but then the local businesses would fail and you would have a bigger problem.

So if use the money that I get from my job to support businesses like I normally do, but then use the money I printed off to buy additional items from outside the country, how does that make my local businesses go out of business and increase the unemployment process? Additionally, you don't need to add the condescending ellipsis at the end of your sentence to get your point across.

I am not saying you are wrong, but could youcreate a specific example that illustrates this devaluation using some graphs, some math, and a logical evaluation of the scenario?

Do you know anything about economy? :?

A devalued dollar has its benefits. It'll shrink our trade deficit by making our exports less expensive (and conversely, by making our imports more expensive). -Sun_Tzu-
