so i had an exam last semester in econ 1. during the middle of the exam the teacher stopped us to make a correction to the test. "everyone, question 32, answer c should be changed from" increasing " to " decreasing " somewhere in the text for that answer. this says something useful to anyone with a brain. do you know what that is?

   In your introduction to Economics, what did they teach you about where money comes from?  Do they teach you that money is issued with a "debt on its head"?  And that the more money that is issued, the deeper in debt the nation becomes?  Do they teach you that if the U.S. Treasury issued its own money, as they are obligated to do, that it could be issued debt free; that is, with no interest due on the money that was issued.

I don't know what degreasing has to do with economics?

Makes the economy run smoother.  Quite similar to how they put airbags on the Treasury in preparation for future crashes.

So you're back now? Oh great.

To me it says that 'c' is probably the answer. However, without additional information, it could be that the original wording made at least two answers correct when that wasn't the intention.

figured you guys needed a break from being heroes. noone seems smart enough to answer this simple question. I thought intellectuals played chess, i guess not

Avatar of Robert_New_Alekhine

There are more idiots that don't play chess. I don't think you know how the pieces move, so you're a great example.
