Curious, are border guards essential?

To the south? Uhhh definitely. Mexico is a war zone and the only thing keeping it from spilling over 100% is fear of American retribution.

Yeah but they employ people there all day lol. It's not doing anything but creating several jobs and maintenance contracts.

I know those guys can sit in a patrol car or go on border patrol. We don't need that actual checkpoint.

we got proly a month then the full faith and credit, what the currency is based on (what you get from bonds) of the us gov goes bye bye. the treasury bonds won't be worth but what they're printed on.

They AREN'T worth the money they are printed on. The Fed (federal reserve fake bank) is buying up the MAJORITY of all Govt. "debt" because no one wants to buy that crap. The Fed buying up the bonds with their FAKE money indicates the bonds are Worthless.

full faith and credit. can't ignore that. by creating a demand the fed creates a value. is it intangible, yes, but the tangibility of the currency isn't the issue. the value of it based on supply and demand is. if the u.s. can't cover its debt (for whatever reason) then the currency loses value and will be seen as not a decent means to trade oil with (also creates the demand). we have a currency based on nothing yet has value, there's something genius in that.

to have gold you need the paper atm though. not to mention the only thing that keeps gold with a value is the notion that it's valuable being sustained by people. love how behaviors traverse cultures and time.
