Money is worthless.

Ah but you spending the money is only part of the story. Let's start at a logical point of departure: You decide that instead of just growing your own damn food you have this ingenious plan to work for money which you will then exchange for food. So we will have to explore the consequences of the work you do for this money, instead of farming, as well as what General Mills will do with that money you give it for the food you didn't grow yourself, as compared with what you could have done with your labor instead. Well if your money is so valuable why are you so eager to get rid of it? Why don't you save it? Because you know that is a losing proposition. It is becoming worthless and you had better get something for it while you can. There certainly is a great deal of satisfaction in growing your own food but you may never know because you have been conned into trading your labor for money and giving that money to General Mills to grow some more biofuel. You certainly didn't think they were going to grow food when biofuels are so much more profitable. So next time you go to the market the bread will be a little, in fact a lot, higher and you can certainly see this effect if you visit the market very much. Soon you will have no job anyway and be forced to grow your own food and drugs and rubber as well. Even if you are fortunate enough to get a job it will with the medical establishment which makes its money by denying health care to America. It is because of them that our health care situation is so bad. Big Medicine has been doing everything in its power to limit the availablity of health care in order to make a buck. You will probably work Big Pharma, except for the "probably" part, working to patent things that grow in the ground and have been used for thousands of years by indiginous peoples, and make them pay for it. So while you are working for that precious money you are making the situation worse for all of us, and giving more power to Big Pharma and since you will have to buy your condoms from them soon they will cost $100 each. Too bad you didn't just grow your own rubber. Well since money is so valuable you will certainly want to get to work to replace that money you gave to General Mills for that loaf of bread. That money prevented you from growing your own food and instead merely increased you dependence on a system which makes money by denying you food. There is enough food in the world to feed everybody, but some people just don't have enough money to buy it. Biofuels are produced in great quantity despite the environmental consequences because they are quite profitable, making the food problem worse by decreasing the amount of food produced. This is a consequence of the folly of using the market, and the almighty dollar, to make our policy decisions for us. Other examples abound. Even thinking in terms of money can lead to ridiculous conclusions. Examining the government report in my comment, we see that household net worth fell 11.2 trillion in this quarter. That's about thirty thousand dollars for every man, woman and child in the country. You are not likely to have made that much. That is part of the price you pay by being on the money standard. You will soon be worthless too (by an admittedly erroneous logic, "Money Logic"). Following that line of logic, if you sell everything now you can get a decent price for it but you are losing three hundred dollars for every day you delay. The fallacy here is that it is the money you will receive that will lose its value, and indeed common sense tells you: Get rid of worthless money. Your furniture will always have value. So we can see that even thinking of things in terms of money, which is losing its value by the minute, leads to erroneous conclusions. Money allows one person to accumulate unlimited wealth and manipulate the value of it. It would be pretty ridiculous to try to own all the cows (say) but with money you have a shot at it. We can save a lot of time if you will simply admit that this is a very bad thing. I have used just over half of my space however and can continue if you wish.
