Just after the financial crisis in 2009, the journalist Scott Pelley asked Ben Bernanke on the 60 minutes CBS TV show where did they get the money for the AIG bailout in march 14, 2009? was these money of the taxpayer people?

He just said:"No. It isn't money from the taxpayers. The banks has it's own accounts with the Federal Reserve as well as you can have one with one commercial bank."

He continued: "In such way, to loan to a bank, one just simply uses the computer to mark up the size of the account they had with the Federal Reserve"

So he just literally admits they create the 85,000,000,000 usd out of nowhere to rescue the private company. This isn't the way capitalism should work and it's more like socialism where everybody takes the loses Angry

The whole idea of printing money without anything backing it was dumb at first, it already gave governments more power than they would need making them control our lives and our freedom, and what makes it even worse is whenever they fuck with their economical strategies and decision they just reside to printing money thinking that it would resolve the situation, i mean look at what happend in Zimbabwe where their currency infatuate and became worthless and Argentina and other countries are doing the same, if this keeps happening we might see another financial crisis.

without controlling money printing, it will certainly result in the value of the currency being worthless, just like the country you mentioned, it is one example of a country that fails to control the production of money
