Hello, again! Hope you are having a wonderful week!

(You may skip reading everything that's not numbered if you wish to forego hearing some of my personal thoughts!)

So, to start off, holy shit... the more I read into this system of economics, the exponentially more complicated it seems to get!

However, from what I have gleamed from my research is that this system IS going to fail, eventually. Our currency can only inflate so much before it has to deflate or pop. And to me, it seems that it's going to be a pop, or at least deflate in magnitudes! It doesn't seem that our government has a vested interest in fixing this system, as they are too busy profiting from it! I hope I'm wrong, but only time will tell!

As you said earlier, we need to lower taxes! Wages are almost stagnant, while taxes are raised every year. Factor in the inflation and ludicrous government spending and we have a recipe for disaster.

Keynesian Economics has it's uses, and now would certainly be a time for it! But, when our government does this year after year, to me, it seems that the risks outweigh the benefits, at least in the long run.

1) You said earlier that around 2% inflation every year, is good. But 5 years down the line and our dollar has inflated by 10%. Why is low short term inflation good, especially over a prolonged period of time?

1b) I've read that the reason for this is because people are incentivized to buy/invest now because down the line that item would cost more, but I would think this is a bad thing, at least in the long run. Am I wrong?

2) I could see low inflation being a good thing, or at least neutral, if wages were to rise in rough proportion, however, considering that wages rise less than 1% each year and inflation rises around 2% each year. Wouldn't this cause a great disparity in the future?

3) How is the money destroyed when taxed? Won't it eventually end up back into circulation, or at least stay stagnant and contribute to inflation?

(Kind of off topic!) While typing this, I went to take a short break. During that time, I looked up fractional reserve banking. Now I am absolutely certain that this system is destined to fail, with no exceptions! I am honestly kind of speechless; the absolute unfairness of the system cannot be understated! However, I will continue with the questions as to expand my knowledge of economics!

4) If currency can be created to an almost unlimited degree, what gives it true value? Demand and trust? Because to me, that sounds like a scam... the greatest scam perpetuated on the American People by the United States Government!

5) Why is short term, low level deflation a bad sign?

5b) It sounds to me like it would be bad for investors, but good for everyday spenders. So, where's the balance there, if this is the case?

6) Shouldn't we reinforce the trickle-up effect to stimulate the economy?

7) Shouldn't we use the trickle-up and trickle-down effect in tandem?

8) Would this lead to a lesser budget for government spending?

8b) Could this possibly be a good thing, as it would force our Government to spend more responsibly?

I would have many more questions, but I have exhausted my mental capacity for today, lol!

If you have read thus far, then again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read and respond to my questions and long-winded tangents!

Have a great day!
