...i can't get any of the loud phony retards here [fos, sjc, etc.] to answer the following question,
'what is the source of value inherent in what we call 'dollars'?' ...once a person gives their best answer to this i can see 'where they are at' fundametally...
the source is the same as it always was: power. currency was historically issued by a king, it had the king's depiction on it, and the king ensured its value.
usually it was jews who did the actual printing, and they often committed the crime of clipping...that is what inspired edward I to expell the jews. anyway it is a long story.
anyway in the modern USA the fed issues money...ostensibly with a concern for inflation, trade imbalances, and employment. It isnt backed by anything but power.
