Socialists/Communists
Free everything leads to prices nobody can pay.
Mass producing good money makes it all worthless.
Too much money & too few products = Inflation.
Too many products & too little money = Deflation.
Free enterprise, supply & Demand = Balance.
Socialism + Atheism is full blown Communism.
Democracy without a republic leads to Socialism.
On September 17, 1787, delegates left the Constitutional Convention in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. As they exited, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government do we have? "A Republic," he replied, "if you can keep it."
"A Republic, if you can keep it.
So the USA became a Democratic Republic
Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman named Tytler made this profound observation: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.
When the greedy, self-serving Socialists have control of the U.S. Treasurery, they can ignore the Constitution of this Republic and give money and other things, to the majority who voted them in, at the expense of the working, tax paying minority.
"Divers (distorted) weights and ... measures ... are both abomination to the Lord." Prov. 20:10
This warning was given when instruments like scales and measuring sticks were used in Trade to determine the value of things to be exchanged between two people, and therefore must be accurate. Both scales and measuring sticks were often created to "look" right but were a fraction short to cheat the other person. God sees this as an "abomination".
In other words, when men alter the true balance of the accepted, legal means of exchange, and thereby defraud others of the true value of their product or property, it is a detestable perversion of truth ... to God. He cares about fairness in trade of people's hard earned products such as food and cloth. Politician created inflation is an examples of perverting the buying power of the peoples money, their means of exchange for the things they need.
So, have the greedy, Socialist Democrats brought America to its knees before the god of WWW (wealth without work) by its tampering with our national medium of exchange, our money .. our "weights and measures"?
What happens when a nation votes in leaders who destroy the value of its currency by creating vast amounts of new money to pay for their Communist programs of free stuff for the voters, to gain their votes? All the nations in the former Soviet Union did it and suffered the consequences for many years. Venezuela followed their example and has now arrived at the same national destruction of their money. So what happened to those contrymen's hard earned money when the naive majority willfully accepted Socialist Communism in place of their liberty and free enterprise?
There are alternatives in today’s environment that allow for different options. However, the tried and true, fixed and honest weights and measures ... fixed value of currency, though it has always created peace and balance in nations is undermined by the envy and greed of a rising majority. Those who delude themselves and question, dismiss or find reasons why it might be different this time. Yet the tried and true still has the eventual redemptive power of a new "restoration movement" after the misguided circumstances in play have destroyed currencies, old infrastructure has collapsed, and the poor and the rich are equally poor. Only this time Jesus may come before we have time to rebuild. Hopefully!
Example of my admonition
Venezuelans Turn To Gold Nuggets As The Local Currency Implodes - From Zero Hedge
The Venezuelan government recently lopped off six zeros from its hyperinflating currency, the bolivar. The highest denomination currency note of 1 million bolivars, worth less than $0.25, was replaced by a one-bolivar note. At the same time, a 100-bolivar note, worth about $25.00, was introduced as the new highest denomination of the bolivar. The currency conversion was designed to spare the government the embarrassment of having to issue a 100-million bolivar note to enable people to purchases everyday items without having to carry around bundles of notes, given that the price of a loaf of bread had risen to 7 million old bolivars. Of course, the arbitrary scaling down of the denomination of the currency will not slow inflation, because the new currency notes can be printed just as cheaply as the old. The bolivar has already lost 73 percent of its value in 2021 alone and the IMF estimates the annual inflation rate will reach 5,500 percent by the end of 2021.
It is not surprising, then, that all but the poorest Venezuelans have abandoned the bolivar as a medium of exchange, let alone a store of value or unit of account. US dollars are the exchange medium of choice in Caracas and other large cities, while the Colombian peso dominates along the Colombian border, particularly in the regional city of San Cristobal. The Brazilian real is current along the southern border with Brazil and the euro and cryptocurrencies have also found niche uses.
What is wonderfully surprising is the spontaneous emergence of a pure gold currency in a remote region of southeastern Venezuela around the towns of Tumeremo and El Callao. The region abounds with precious metal ores and has a long history of luring prospectors and miners seeking their fortunes. Today, however, many of the larger mines are controlled by the government military, which is battling local gangs and guerillas. Despite the violence and lawlessness, jobless Venezuelans from far and wide are flooding into the area to work in thriving illegal mines in exchange for payment in gold nuggets. As a result, gold flakes, which are peeled off raw nuggets with hand tools, have become the currency of choice in the region with prices for commodities and services quoted in grams of gold. Half a gold gram buys you a one-night stay in a local hotel, while a meal for two at a Chinese restaurant and a haircut will cost you a quarter of a gram and an eighth of a gram, respectively.
The gold flakes are carried in people’s pockets—usually wrapped in the nearly worthless bolivar notes. While some shops are equipped with scales to weigh the gold flakes, most sellers and their customers have become so familiar with the flakes that they evaluate them by sight. For example, the barber and his customer who transacted for the haircut agreed that three gold flakes equaled the one-eighth gram price (approximately $5.00). Gold is also starting to penetrate the nearby cities, such as the regional capital Ciudad Bolivar, as stores in shopping malls gladly accept the gold in exchange for dollars from miners who are seeking to cash out.
