      What about the conflict between old money and new money? New money representing new value creation can only be created by a debt instrument and is necessary for economic growth and expansion and yet it decreases the net worth of old money h...ence the current attempts by old money to contract the money supply and reign in the growth? As more currency units are created in the system to represent new value created the percentage of total wealth represented by each unit decreases this is known as positive inflation as opposed to negative inflation. While those continuing to create new genuine value benefit and increase their net worth those stagnant with their old money have their net worth decrease. See More

      Economic Situation declared a threat to National Security permitting extraordinary measures to be taken to eliminate the cause and any impediments to resolution. Wall Street Gamblers and Bankers put on notice for major monetary finance syst...em overhaul.

      “If the cash does not flow a new source will be created and what you have will be become diminished in value”.

      It has been determined that the ability to produce and the desire to consume did not change so the cause must be the system used by the consumers and producers to account for value exchange. In a reality based system there could not be a boom and bust which could only exist in an artificial system based on fiction subject to manipulation and distortion or simply convoluted by the inability to properly manage it..
