some things just seem sooooo easy! like for example....the financial mess america is in. it shouldnt be so hard to solve. first off all...dont spend money you dont have. secondly.... be realistic. does the goverment really need 24 karat gold toliets? i cant remember where i saw that, but i remember seeing a show where the government was installing some really ridiculous and expensive gold toilets. do they really need that expensive shit? (literally!!!!) and lastly...if you do get into a financial downfall...then fix it!
its been a long time since american currency has been backed by gold. so this basically means, that the government pretty much randomly prints money. so...why dont they just print more? its only paper! print what the debt is...and pay it. whats the difference? dan explained that if this was done, than the value of the dollar would go down. but why? i asked my dad. he couldnt really explain it, because he didnt really know. and how would anyone know if they did print more? how would the value go down, if nobody knew more was printed? nobody knows where the money comes from anyway. i want to say that i understand why the government cant just print money; because there has to be a reason why it cant be that simple. but really and truly... i dont. i just dont! why cant it be that simple?
sometimes i wonder how i can let all of this intelligence go to waste. i really should be president. i could so easily fix the world.

i asked my dad the same thing. why can't we print more? the only thing i got from his answer was...basically, the more money that is floating around...the less it's worth. the rest of what he said was something like...blah,blah, blah...
