Seriously?
I heard something that made me laugh and cry at the same time. This very statement brought joy to my life for a moment. Then it made me realize how many idiots there are in this world, which made me sad. Before I say the statement, I have to inform you that THREE different types of people said this: a college student, a local politician, and a bystander. I can forgive the bystander for being a moron. The other two...Face to palm, folks.
Statement made by all three:
"Can't the government print more money to fix the economy?"
I'm not saying this verbatim, by the way.
And now that think about it, it was more of a question....See what I mean about morons. >_>

That's what they did during the depression.

My BFF says that...! I'm just like...wtf?! "Steph, do you have no concept of economy?!" She's from Brazil, and she goes over there every summer, and she's trying to get me to go over with her...but it's like 1500 euro to get over there. I couldn't even afford 600 euro to get over to my uncle in Canada, what made her think I could afford a plane ticket to Paris, then Sao Paolo, then taxi fares to Rio, then more fares to Sao Joao...?! Pssh. I suppose she is a spoiled only child, she can't really help how she was brought up.

I said that but then again I was fourteen at the time. I now understand that printing more money would make the economy worse because the value of the dollar would go down.
