Read_765 - "Hoarding" is a Keynesian Slur

"This has been one of the most effective psychological operations that has ever been conducted on the public in human history. The high priests of central banking started running with this narrative and people have come to believe that it is a law of physics. Economies cannot operate efficiently unless there is a steady flow of new monetary units being created and introduced to the economy. If new monetary units aren't being created people will hoard their money and grind the economy to a halt." — Marty Bent

Today we take another angle of attack against the absurd notion that savers are the ones grifting from society, while the counterfeiters are doing a noble service to save us from the evil, ordinary citizens who have earned money and hope to keep it.

Check out the original article and sub to Marty's Bent at: Higher Savings Rates Are Good for the Economy

"I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form." — Calvin Coolidge
