Quote:Do you actually know what the Fed is?

 

A private bank endorsed by the Federal Government to print and manipulate our currency. 

 

Quote:That's glossing over the issue, IMO.

 

If the problem isnt what my dad is making but rather the value of the money he is making, than business should not care about increasing profits but rather on increasing the value of their current profits. They do not do this. Instead they keep their employees wages relatively flat compared to increases in profits. 

 

Yes it's simplifying a very complicated process, I'm trying to drive home a point the problem is inflation. Your Dad along with everyone else isn't making more but we have less buying power than we did just 10 years ago, that is directly tied to government trying to "fix" private sector problems.

 

Quote:Excuse me, I mean the start of their current platform, not the start of the nation.

 

That's more reasonable, I still disagree but now what your saying is debatable and not outlandish.
