It is the people who constitute the basis of government credit. why then cannot the people have benefit of their own gilt-edge credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency-instead of bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds. if the united states government will adopt this policy of increasing its national wealth without contributing to the interest collector-for the whole national debt is made up on interest charges-then you will see an era of progress and prosperity in this country such as could never have come otherwise.

More From Thomas A. Edison

Extrapolated, technology wants what life wants: increasing efficiency increasing opportunity increasing emergence increasing complexity increasing diversity increasing specialization increasing ubiquity increasing freedom increasing mutualism increasing beauty increasing sentience increasing structure increasing evolvability
Technology Opportunity Ubiquity
It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer (banker), and the other helps the people. if the currency issued by the government were no good, then the bonds issued would be no good either. it is a terrible situation when the government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious values of gold.

Absolutely pay off credit card debt. if you're not getting a match in your 401(k) and you've got credit card debt, you've got to get yourself out of credit card debt. when you get out of credit card debt, your credit score goes up and interest starts to go down.
Debt Pay Cards
By creating the european central bank, the member states exposed their own government bonds to the risk of default. developed countries that issue bonds in their own currency never default, because they can always print money. their currency may depreciate, but the risk of default is absent.

I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. that can only work in the longer-term. i want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. it isn't the same thing. let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.
Country Growth Debt
Meanwhile, the u.s. debt remains, as it has been since 1790, a war debt; the united states continues to spend more on its military than do all other nations on earth put together, and military expenditures are not only the basis of the government's industrial policy; they also take up such a huge proportion of the budget that by many estimations, were it not for them, the united states would not run a deficit at all.

People in the u.k. share my bemusement with the united states that america doesn't share with itself. they have a sense of irony, which america doesn't have, seeing as it's being run by fundamentalists who take things literally.

I don’t want to get too detailed into it, but when you’re a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. if you’re a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want.

I never endorsed donald trump or any of the candidates who are running for the nomination that would make them the leader of their party. i said of mr. trump that i give him credit as the only one who stood in front of "some" members of the jewish community and told them he did not need or want their money. this was very big because any man who is able to stand on his own is free enough to do what is in the best interest of the country. that is what i said and that is what i meant.
