This is worldwide unrest, and will spread to the U.S. and other countries, as fiat currencies have been printed endlessly, and the value of each dollar drops like a stone.

If the U.S. is the world reserve currency, and has the only right to print paper money backed by nothing, no gold, then they will keep printing until the world runs out of trees.

This is a way for the U.S. to increase exports. If their citizens have run out of money due to borrowing, then a way to increase GDP, or gross domestic product, is to increase exports. How can they do this? By devaluing the U.S. dollar so that other countries can buy U.S. products for less of their own currency.

If the U.S. devalues its dollar then it will increase exports, but each dollar the average U.S. citizen holds will buy their family less and less. The winners are the bankers issuing loans for fees, and corporations making deals for exclusive contracts. The losers are average citizens. The prices of all goods goes up. Jobs go down. Hunger goes up. Hope goes down. Anger goes up. Then it all goes down…

All while borrowing for war.

The peasants are getting tired of bread and circuses.

Coins and Crowns

Coins and Crowns

 

It’s all going down, down, down

The peasants are reeling

From the game of coins and crowns

We’re all feeling

When they borrow for war

With no gold in store

They just print more

 

Then our costs go up and our jobs go down

Hunger goes up and hope goes down

Anger goes up then it all goes down, down, down

 

Gold and silver from the ground

Five thousand years of money sound

Mine it up, melt it down

A fair exchange that keeps us sound

Print it up then it all goes down

 

Kings and queens with golden crowns

Five thousand years of empires founded

Make some war, win some ground

Just give us bread and circus clowns

To keep us down
