World Money Supply Shrinking While U.S. Deficit Soars - WHY?

World fiat money reserves were growing at a rapid rate until August of this year. They are now shrinking. Since USA deficits are soaring into the trillions, this must mean that the new debt is being monetized and not borrowed. Huge inflation looms in the USA.

The problem is usury.

The reason is because people prefer to let their money "work" and receive interest, so that they get a guarenteed interest rate, rather than spend it on goods, services or production.

That graph is quite skewed ....

The last three months are out of balance with the rest of the graph.

Having said that ....

It seems he has concluded the obvious...

What Dr. Paul has been saying all along ...

The debt is being monetized ...

One can only conclude inflation ....

If the confidence in the dollar continues to erode relative to other world currencies.

It looks like we are in the beginning phase of discussing the addition of a one world currency.

I sure hope Dr. Paul is able to insert language in such a bill, if it is introduced, that will allow other, non central bank controlled, currencies to exist and compete.

It will be the answer to a lot of my prayers.

WAHOR!!

I am here to be judged.

If his numbers are correct then Dr. Paul has called it AGAIN!

Ron Paul Quote:
"Now that our foreign creditors are less willing to purchase our debt, what debt we cannot sell to foreigners will be monetized through the Federal Reserve, resulting in increased inflation."

Less willing to purchase our debt?

Who are you kidding...the world is tripping over themselves to purchase our debt. Check out the T-bill interest rates recently...they were offering 0.04% interest on a short term bill...and they were selling them at that rate. Seems they are still quite interested in our debt.

Oh my gosh

That graph looks like something Wile E Coyote would drop from--the only thing missing is the little tree sticking out on the side.

Writedowns

The decrease in the money supply is due to bank write-downs. This is something banks do when they're experiencing losses, they decrease the paper value of their holdings and the result is a loss of money.

It's as tangible to write down a million dollars as it is to take a million dollars in FRN's and burn them in a campfire.

This is the cause of our economic worries with regards to the credit system, that there is suddenly much less money to be had.

Government should be debt free.

THe government shouldn't pay interest to begin with. We pay taxes to get services, not to feed those who expect to get interest payments. Usury always results in collapse.

Anyone's opinion please,

I just bought some junk silver coin at 11 times faqce value. Is that an acceptable rate?

It's higher than spot price

It's only slightly higher than spot, but it's probably the best you are going to do.

While it's possible that you may be able to buy it cheaper in a few weeks, it's certain that it will be worth more than you paid in 5 years.

It seems to own physical silver right now, you have to pay a premium.

Very Simple Answer

The U.S. defaults on their paper. Sorry, we're not paying interest anymore. Or we declare a moratorium. Or, sorry, we are bankrupt and can't pay, we have to go Chapter 13 to readjust the debt. Before that interest rates on their paper will soar. They may also change the dollar. Remember, we started out with gold and silver coin, then to paper backed by gold, then silver backed paper, then U.S. notes (guaranteed by the Treasury), then after Kennedy's death to FRN's. So why not a new change with forced returns of FRN's. These guys have no consciences and anything is possible--even the worst.

Not even close

The US defaulting on their paper just will not happen. We aren't close.

Our total debt interest is less than 10% of our federal revenue. That's like a family taking home $100,000 per year (after taxes) with total house, car, and credit card payments of $800 per month.

I wonder

how China will react when we default on all that money we owe them?

World banks around the world

World banks around the world gathered up FRNs, then they lent them to the U.S. government via Treasury bonds and the U.S. government lent these dollars to private banks to lend to people. There is not shortage of FRNs relative to the debt incurred by the credit created. The problem occurs if people do not go out and borrow and become enslaved by usury. If people do not borrow then the economy could go in two directions, either deflation over a long period until debt is paid off or foreclosed or inflation is the new director of the treasury decides to bypass the usurious system and print money directly into the system.

It's simple, the U.S.

It's simple, the U.S. treasury removes FRNs with treasury bonds, for which we pay interest.
Usurious bastards.

Uh....no

Juat because the markets are going down....that does not mean deflation.

You will know you are living through a true deflationary period when prices fall across the board for everything.... Food...clothing...etc.

Uh...yes

The price of everything is falling. Oil is 1/2 price from July. Commodities are down across the board, from aluminum to pork bellies. Equities are down 40% on the year. The Euro is significantly cheaper. You don't see the prices yet at the grocery store, but these things take a while to work through the system.

We are in a deflationary period...gold is at a 30% discount from earlier in the year, silver is almost 50%.

Clothing is waaaay down...have you been shopping recently?

The money supply is not shrinking.

According to the article, the reserves of U.S. Treasuries held by foreign banks is shrinking, not the money supply of the different nations. The author goes on to say that in order for the U.S. to make up for this action, they are going to need to monetize the debt, this will lead to hyperinflation.

Does that mean gold goes up?

Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

If the laws of supply and demand

were being obeyed, yes; but since we've entered the bizarro world command economy, the future is cloudy.
