Yeah, we ran that experiment already in 2020 and it didn't go well. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/178958/Capture_JPG-3098633.JPG The faster the inflated money hits the economy the WORSE the effects it has. eta: it devalues everyone's currency quicker. The only one that gets to spend the inflated money at near to the value it was when the expansion happened are the very first few spenders. That's why I kinda want to just go ahead and green light this bullshit and get it over with. I can come up with an inflation hedging strategy for myself and everyone giddy with their monopoly money can get . That level of inflation hitting everything very quickly just might tip off hyperinflation, and *nobody* is safe from that, because it collapses society. |

Quoted: This is never going to happen. They never meant for it to happen. This is to make white people hate Black people, and make Black people hate white people. Nothing more. View Quote I'm of a split mind on this. Part of me thinks that there's no way that anyone could be so stupid as to think that this plan has any chance of success. Bowman is bright enough to get himself elected to a federal office, so he can't be THAT stupid. He HAS to have this as his ulterior motive. Quoted: The most dangerous imbeciles are the ones who don’t know they are imbeciles. View Quote The other part of me thinks that Bowman truly is that stupid. |

620,000 mostly white guys DIED during the civil war. Most of them young men

It would just shuffle the cards around and wind up screwing people who saved and were retired more than everyone else. Also, there's no political will to do that, because the people that are in power know they'd be taken to the cleaners for doing it. It would also make capitol flee and collapse trust in the system. The MMT dolts think you can tax inflation down and that somehow that would help. The only way to fix currency inflation is to *not do it* in the first place. At least that I know of. It would be great if there was another way to do it without immorally screwing people over in the process. |

If we are going down this road………can we start tallying up the financial damage “some folks” have done to society vs. their contribution?

Sorry, Black People, but you've already gotten your reparations thanks to the various affirmative action and social programs that benefit you.

Quoted: so, every white person existing today would have to pay 5 million dollars to blacks. Paid by whites that never owned a slave. A huge population of whites (Germans, Irish and Italians) came after the civil war. So add 50% to the national debt to pay people that weren't slaves paid by people that weren't slave owners. edit: Most of the US before the civil war did not own slaves and most states did not allow it. Most slaves were sold to Spanish and Dutch by Africans. View Quote My family owned slaves. |

Quoted: I want reparations form the barbary coast and Roman Empire for white slavery. View Quote Isn't it interesting how the slave trade of the barbary pirates is never discussed and most people have zero knowledge of it. Lots of White Europeans were taken as slaves by the barbarian pirates conducting raids on European coastal villages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates |

They can collect from Kamala. Her family has owned more slaves than mine has.

Communism could not use the "workers of the world overthrow the owners of the means of production" greed against the American middle class property owners...as we worked with the owners of the means of production to produce top rated goods for the world market... They got smart and began to use race, gender, national origin, creed to turn us against each other...and one more reason for them to hate Christianity... |

I thought America was becoming more “brown” as whitey is on the way out? Has anyone told those of hispanic decent they will be on the hook for this?

Just think all of you who did the ancestry thing that came back with a hint of black can now claim a need for reparations.

I wonder what the total cost of affirmative action has been to the Country?

Where are reparations for the descendants of the Irish and eastern Europe as in Yugoslavia the term Slavic translates to slave or land of slaves. Whose paying us reparations?

Quoted: Reparations for black America would be like me buying laptops for my cats. Isn't the US bending over backwards to kiss their asses for 50 years enough? No group in human history has had government largess bestowed upon them the likes of which black America has. When is enough enough? View Quote It won't be enough until white people are picking cotton in the fields. Even then, it won't be enough. You keep giving people something for nothing, and they'll expect more until the end of time. Every year when school starts, just before the free breakfasts and lunches begin, backpacks and school supplies are given away. And don't forget those warm winter coats every single year. That's on Chicago tv every year, no doubt it's nationwide. Kid wants to play sports; here have everything you need for free. White people get to pay for their kids, and these kids too. Great system. Between those things, welfare and the sad state of our cities, I have to say it's more than even. In fact you could say they should pay to rebuild the cities they've destroyed. It should be amusing when their voting block is replaced by others. It's happening already in NYC and Chicago and the whining has started big time. "They're getting our free stuff!!" |

My family didn't get here till after 1900 so go fuck yourselves.

And to think if it wasn't for Slavery, a good 13% of the US Population would be living in Africa. Since life's so great over there.
He's an idea. How about if anyone that feels that America owes them reparations. OK! Here is your moving expense voucher. Here is the number you call to schedule the moving company. Here is $200,000. And finally here is your one way plane ticket to Liberia. Bye! |

F’ing BS!!!
It will never end. Slavery ended 161 years ago. Democrats have created a dependent and victim mentality culture. 60 years after the “I have a dream speech” the males of this vibrant culture still can’t pull up their pants!!! Shameful. Not putting one more penny of my tax dollars to the POS’s!!! Nuff said. |

I’m all for it when they find someone still alive that was a former slave.

What's sad is few enough people understand inflation that millions will believe that they aren't paying for it.
|

They are right. The $14 Trillian should come straight from the organization that profited the most from slavery. The political party that fully supported, and fought a war over slavery. The Democratic party. Start cutting checks

My family has never been compensated for the slaves being freed. I did the math one time and with interest and inflation, I think the government owe us a few hundred million.

Quoted: I support this. Reparations are necessary to account for the racial wealth disparity we see today in America. It is obviously the fault of racism, which is why African countries that were never colonized, like Ethiopia, ended up being just as prosperous as any European or East Asian country. View Quote Its time for the white christian man to pay his fair share. If it wasnt for white men, all of the western world would be as prosperous and advanced as Somalia. But no...the white man need to have his industrial revolution....and his military industrial complex...and his space programs. If only we had supported diversity and inclusion, and allowed the west to advance |

Quoted: I thought welfare and DEI were reparations...how's that not enough? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes There will never be "enough". Only "more". Quoted: How about just give away tickets to go back to Africa if they want? Just have to rescind citizenship. If America is so bad, there is the option. Because that's not how, grift, graft, & welfare work. |

Quoted: Don't laugh. A few years ago, Bono visited Africa with Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil. At one stop, Bono bemoaned the fact that it only cost $X to dig a well., and if the rest of the world just donated $XX, every village in the country could have their own well. When O'Neil spoke, he reminded the crowd that the country in question had received enough foreign aid in the previous year to buy every family in the country their own well. Guess whose comments were reported on by the press the next day? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Don't laugh.

Just like republicans, this dem has introduced this bill when the republicans control the house knowing full well there is not enough support and it will not pass.
This just a campaign publicity stunt. |
