By the time our children are in high school today they should be getting what I consider to be a basic financial education. In fact our citizens in college today don’t get this education unless they specialize in economics or finance and even then it is slanted to the “Statist” or “Keynesian” model.
Join me today as we discuss the following…
- What is money?
- What is a backed currency?
- What is a “fiat currency”?
- Why does money exist?
- What is M0, M1, M2 and M3?
- What is inflation?
- What is debt?
- Can a currency also be a debt?
- How are U.S. Dollars created?
- What is fractional reserve?
- How do banks create additional money?

Things are getting better right? The “green shoots” are starting to “bear fruit”. The mighty bail outs have worked! I mean come on, last winter CITI paid back their loans, GM’s President just did a commercial saying that, “repaid our government loan, in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule.“ The Dow is up above 11,000 today when it was down to 6600 in March of 2009. Everything is wonderful right? Not so fast!
Join me today as we discuss…
- Did GM really pay back the American people “with interest”, NO!
- Did CITI really make good out its piece of the bailout, NO!
- The hidden bail out, free, well almost free money
- One of the “hidden bail outs” – Interest Rate Swaps
- Another hidden bail out – cheap money for the banks – so they can counterfeit more
- Who will really pay the cost of “Financial Reform of Wall Street”
- What does the Financial Reform Bill Actually Say
- Obama says debt is cancer, well after racking up trillions of dollars of it
- Why nothing has changed or will change when it comes to US debt

After being preempted by the weather yesterday we are doing today’s show on listener questions. Tune in today as we answer questions about surplus firearms, buying land, keeping and investing in silver, potential bank runs, alcohol as a gas and more.
Today I also tell you about an article I read on Lew Rockwell about coming food shortages and why food producing land will be one of the most valuable commodities in the coming future. The article is aptly titled “Food Will Never Be So Cheap Again“.
