In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.

Well the US just created a trillion dollars out of nowhere, so what it really looks like is:

Very impressive post
If engineers were wrong as often as economists, would anyone fly aeroplanes?
Here is an interesting video on the creation of money. The video is old but certainly not dated, in fact its probably very appropriate. I thought at first that it was one of those conspiracy jobs but it is far better thought out and draws on historical fact to outline its premise. I'm posting this on the Isick thread as well as there seems to be some dissusion there on gold backed currrency. The end of this video however is very much in agreement with advice on the thread with the idea of getting into mainly silver but also gold as a port in a monetary storm. The points on withdrawal of credit and tightening of lending conditions sent a shiver down my spine seeing as this precedes the current "credit crunch" by more than 10 years.Originally Posted by mothball

Holy crap.
Yeah.
It puts the enormity of things being bandied about by politicians and bankers etc into perspective a bit.

My sentiment exactly. Personally, I'm a bit disappointed that $1 million looks so puny. Makes me realise how truly broke I really am. Sigh.
This is what 100 trillion dollars looks like. Coming to a wallet near you.
