Why doesn’t the Government just make new money and put the recession to rest?

   Well first of all, the more money we have, the less it’s worth, so we’d actually be losing money if we made more. Ironic but it’s true. And last of all…..ok I ran out

   Why don’t we all just go back to the days where everything was traded? And there was no money.

   I find it comical that we create worthless pieces of paper to acquire very non-worthless objects. How did we come up with the idea to make money when money is just nothing. It’s silly if you actually think about it. (Yet completely genius.)

   But yes “the more we have, the less it’s worth”. If every single person was a billionaire where would that get us? Don’t get me wrong, because we do live in a world that revolves around money I love having money. Who doesn’t?

   But it’s also like jewelry. We spend hundreds to thousands (even ridiculously, sometimes, millions) of dollars on pieces of metal and gems that are “real”. Who’s to say what’s real? Why can’t zirconia be just as good as actual diamonds? Jewelry (etc) is for looks, who gives a rat’s ass if it’s not real.

   I think celebrities that buy crazy expensive clothes, jewelry, and whatever should use that money to freaking help charities and do something useful! There are so many homeless people, dying animals, and deteriorating environments and you’re spending $50,000 on a dress!? Seems that the people who don’t have the money to help as much as they would like, are the ones who care the most.
