1. Five random, but important, thoughts about money and banking: 1) Money and Banking Myth #1 ... 2) Money reformers are, for the most part, feckless ... 3) The “creation of money out of nothing” through loans ... 4) The Private Federal Reserve System charges the government interest on the money it lends to the government ... 5) The present money system is a disgrace. / more at: http://www.primeronmoney.com/fiverandomthoughts.html
   
2. The United States is acting like a 5th world country that does not understand its sovereign rights to create its national currency without help from an outside agency. The United States pays over $400 Billion / year in interest payments on the national debt because of this lack of understanding. If the United States, the home of the world's biggest and most stable economy, does not have the sovereign right to create whatever money it needs -- WHO DOES?

92. March 16, 2004 / Greenspan Shifts View on Deficits in 2004 / By EDMUND L. ANDREWS / NY Times.
    We congratulate Alan Greenspan for his flexibility in recognizing the shifting sands of the economy and his past errors -- but we wish he didn't still sound so cock-sure about his wisdom. We tend to think he was wrong then and is wrong now. We simply think he does not really understand economics -- hardly anyone does.

99. Interest on the national debt is over $400 Billion DOLLARS / YEAR. That expense can be wiped out instantly by creating that money and paying off that debt. If the United States does not have the sovereign right to create money, WHO DOES? The present value of $400 Billion at 4% interest is $10 Trillion Dollars. ($400,000,000,000 x 25 = $10,000,000,000,000). We are letting $10 Trillion slip through our hands every day. That needless expense is about $1 billion / day. It adds up. Your share, as a U.S. citizen is $3.33 / day.

100. Interest Rates. It is generally accepted that the Federal Reserve System controls interest rates in the United States -- but that is far from the truth. The control of interest rates is mostly illusory. -- it might be fair to say it is a hoax.

     http://www.primeronmoney.com/investoroflastresort.html
     
103. 57 quotes by Thomas Jefferson. He was not as smart as we have been told.
     Read the quotes and judge for yourself. Jefferson apparently thought a lot about
     money and much less about freedom, justice, equality, laws, sex, beauty, nature or anything else.

114. These links are better than a degree in economics -- if you do not swallow the material whole. Spit out what doesn't taste right -- or better yet follow the first law of the jungle --"do not taste what doesn't smell right".
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/linkedtoc.html
     
115. Garbage In -- Garbage out / the danger of bad theories that look good. A financial firm borrows billions of dollars to make big bets on esoteric securities. Markets turn and the bets go sour. Overnight, the firm loses most of its money, and Wall Street suddenly shuns it. Fearing that its collapse could set off a full-scale market meltdown, the government intervenes and encourages private interests to bail it out

     http://www.primeronmoney.com/moneyisnotnatural.html
     
121. Money laws are unclear in spots -- and that fact is not in acccord with our legal system. If laws are not clear -- they are usually not enforceable. Is that why we are all so confused?

     http://www.primeronmoney.com/naivetheoryofeconomics.html
125. An economy without money where everyone will cooperate for the common good? Impossible you say? Contrary to human nature? Probably. But I think it might be possible to construct such a system on a very small scale and try to nourish it to a self-sufficient size. Buckminster Fuller thought it was way more than possible. He thought 2 to 3% of our workaholics could make everything the rest of need if the government would provide those people with free tools and materials. He convinced me when I heard him speak in the 70s at The University of California at Santa Barbara. do you have any ideas how to get started?

128. The One Root Cause Of The Mortgage Market Meltdown --
     Tuesday, September 23, 2008. It is quite clear that our current (September, 2008) mortgage market problems are directly traceable to the ONE simple fact that "existing lending rules allow banks to negligently sell off shaky house loans".Unless those lending rules are changed, no government action will correct the problem. This is from our Silver Bullet Plan.

137. The A B C’s of America’s Money System -- Patman's speech to Congress in 1964
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/Patmansspeechof8-3-64.html
     
138. Paulson speaks. "If we have learned anything throughout this year, we have learned that this financial crisis is unpredictable and difficult to counteract." Two questions: (1) In plain English, does that mean "I do not have a clue what is happening?" (mrc) (2) Who is the "we" he is talking about? (mrc)

139. People on this site -- writers and subjects -- a linked index / a work in progress

140. The Central Bank of the Philipines buys back loans from banks to allow the banks to sell more loans. From a Google search for "Bangko Sentral" ---
     "The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is the central bank of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on 3 July 1993 pursuant to the provisions ..."
     What nonsense. It turns the banks into sales agents for the Central Bank and, of course, makes the small banks less interested in the success of the loans. They will be sorry. In my opinion, someone sold them a bill of goods and they do not know how bank lending works. Banks create money out of thin air when they lend.(mrc)

141. This is Plan A: a plan to provide for a well controlled Banking System and Money System in the United States of America. This plan was merged into our Silver Bullet Plan

142. “We’re now no different from any of those Western European semi-socialist welfare states that we love to deride. Italy? Sure, it’s had four governments since last Thursday, but none of them would have allowed this to go on; the Italians know how to rig an economy.”

146. Hundreds of quotations on money. Read them -- stretch your brain. It will never go back to its original size.
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/quotationsonmomey.html
147. WARNING --This is, more or less, a 28-page, opinionated, off-the-wall, rant against the Fed. However, It is worth reading for a number of reasons. Mostly to see how misguided some people are.
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/rantagainstthefed.html
148. I want it to be understood that I am herewith considering only what Ms. Brown has written in her article which is reproduced here. I am in no way criticizing her as a person. She normally is very logical and a wonderful writer. I respect her enormously.

149. Robert Reich -- a wise man as far as I can tell -- writes about the coming recession just before it officially happened.

150. More from Reich
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/recessionhowtostopone.html
     
151. The written law regarding "reserve requirement ratios". When a bank must keep "10 percent in reserves" -- that means they can lend out 10 times as much money as it has in "capital" and in its "transaction accounts" combined. The article defines "transaction accounts". Don't believe anything that contradicts this law. Hardly anyone -- even well educated economists understand this law or its ramifications.
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/reserverequirements.html
     
152. "Confronted with the once-in-a-century opportunity to remake the financial system, the reformers in Washington have a choice: Succumb to the temptation of serving financial supermarkets or lift up community banks and street-level economies." I buy Billy's plan.
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/reverendbillysplan.html
     
153. This talk makes sense -- but I do not nderstand how the title jibes with the article.

154. Guarantees that could not be honored thrust the world financial system into its worst crisis since the Great Depression. Will a guarantee by the United States government finally restore confidence in the American financial system?

160. Innovative and opaque instruments of debt; greedy bankers; lenders’ eagerness to take on risky loans; a lack of regulation; a shortage of bank liquidity: all have been nominated as the underlying cause of the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression. But a more perceptive, and more troubling, diagnosis is suggested by the work of a little-regarded British chemist-turned-economist who wrote before and during the Great Depression.
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/soddysideas.html
161. Money reformers are often feckless. They do not focus on the truly important issues and thus divert our attention from those things that are important.

176. Read about this classic book by Adam Smith
     http://www.primeronmoney.com/wealthofnations.html
     WE ARE SURROUNDED BY WATER / WE DO NOT USE IT WISELY. There is no reason why we can't follow ancient Rome's example and build the best water-saving and transmission system in the world. We can easily create the money for the projects which would then pay for themselves in wholesome food, beautiful building materials, versatile fabrics and magical trees that convert Carbon Dioxide to Oxygen,thus helping avert the problem of global warming. We can completely eliminate poverty around the world if every government will cooperate and create the money needed.
