Again, it is because in a free market PRICES ADJUST.Also, you think inflation has been under control? That is, you think the supply of money and credit hasn't increased much? That is just simply untrue. As has been said quite constantly, the dollar today is worth 3-4 cents compared to the dollar the Fed inherited in 1913. That is a spectacular decrease in purchasing power and it came about in no small part because of the money/credit expansion inherent in central/fractional reserve banking.

You do know that the population doubles every 50 years don't you?? That means that there would only be half as much money available to the public in 50 years if the money suppy didn't grow. Do you know anything about economics other than what you read from some blog? nate… so you think that we don’t need to grow money as the population grows??

I just think you are way too right wing, and i am more moderate. There have been many many wars with great leaders in charge. I don't believe in policing the world, but I do believe that war was the main source of reasoning in the distant past. Licoln believed in the constitution and was offended when half the country tried to abandon it because they did not believe in freedom.. I'm glad we agree to disagree.

I said that Marx, the commie, was a fan of Lincoln's. And for obvious (not to you, of course) reasons.Lincoln was not a commie, but he had significant things in common with the commies.Lincoln had collectivist ideas and acted on them. You express faith in what the polls say,what the "authorities" say, and you are concerned with what the "99%" would say. That reveals a collectivist mind set. You have imbibed the collectivist kool-aid and keep regurgitating it. There is no hope.You defend Lincoln because you have a collectivist mentality. I have neither illusions for, nor aspirations of making you see the light, so this will be my last post to you. I have better things to do than waste my time with the ignorant and unreasoning.What are you doing on a Ron Paul site, anyway? You seem utterly clueless! “i would like to hear you tell 99% of the population that lincoln was a communist.”

South Carolina was what! It was a state that seceded after Lincoln's election.Fort Sumter was Confederate territory,and the North had no business there.If I remember correctly, the North had been resupplying it against NC's wishes."And what he accompished, was one of the farthest reaching goals anyone could imagine." Yup, he killed off any hope of self determination. Just ask Johnny Reb and the Plains Indians. No wonder Karl Marx was a fan.BTW:The US income tax was used first by Lincoln to fund his war. One of the planks in the commie manifesto was a call for a heavy, progressive income tax. "Viva the Great Centralizer." Fort Sumter is located where? South Carolina was what!

Licoln did fight to keep the union, but he didn't start the fight.. And what he accompished, was one of the farthest reaching goals anyone could imagine. We fought hard in two wars prior to keep and build our country. They weren't going to let some ideology seperate and tare apart such a huge investment. the whole reason the confederates suceeded was because abraham lincoln campaigned against new slave states..
