printing money is to counter-act a lack of investment/demand, done so by giving bonds to banks in the hope that they will be more willing to loan it out (this may not actually be the case). if deflation is is believed to be about to occur or is occurring it can have negative consequences on an economy such as reducing GDP and increasing a budget deficit even further, quantitative easing (printing money) is a policy that can be attempted to use to do that. It wouldn't be in any countries interest to do this as it can significantly reduce the value of countries currency whether america still do it i don't know but I think it was a german or brit working for japan who created it and he later went of to say it doesn't work! yet Governments still use it, in theory it's used to stimulate growth and create jobs not to take over land though I imagine government debt from loans is a big factor as if inflation rises with GDP which USA economy is currently growing at 6% in theory it reduces the debt as you technically have more money to pay it off.

basically the more quantitative easing you are doing the easier it will be to pay off your debt to china at the risk of damaging your own economy

Before replying to this, I would just like to say Gareth Barry is a good player.

Now, as usual Cheese, you are bang on. The rich own all the assets and the rest of us rent/loan. It has been this way for 99% of man's history. There was a strange notion of even playing field, democracy, egalitarianism, upward mobility etc entertained by the elite for about 2.5 generations (post WWII)...that little period is now over. We are headed back to serfdom.
And all this has occurred because the ability to create something out of thin air, which everybody wants and needs (namely money) is in the hands of the elite (The US Federal Reserve is a private central bank...not public). They can print an infinite amount of the stuff....and swap it for useful things like land, resources, commodities...and at their whim, dalliances like football teams.
They got us by the family jewels.
If I printed money I would go to jail for 20 years...cause counterfeiting steps on their monopoly...and they aint having that.

The system wont change anytime soon. Who will change it? The associations running the game are all bought and paid for. World Cup in Qatar anybody?

Excellent post...I agree Gareth Barry is a good player.

Who will change it? Well, you'd think the FA (and equivalent) would have the power to do so. However, in European footy the inmates (owners) run the asylum...especially the rich inmates. I guess I keep banging on about squad limits, because it makes so much bloody sense to me, and would be bang easy to enforce/implement. Sigh.

Hmmm... some lovely NFL players to watch, but some of the greats are worth knowing. Here are a few of the best I've watched:

Barry Sanders
Joe Montana
Walter Payton
Jerry Rice


... that Gareth Barry tho... I'd like him to sign.

I have heard of Joe Montana, there are others I know that have retired as well. I understand the rules and the way the leagues work. It's not rare that I will watch highlights of games or players (just don't remember there names which is strange cause I'm usually good with them) . I just can't watch it live so I can't get into it , It is very stop start and when you don't have a vested interest in any side waiting a minute to see six seconds of action when there is no risk or reward as you don't support a team. There is no excitement in it, that and I still feel bad for Rudy height shouldn't be a limiting factor in sport it annoys me greatly if Rudy played football (soccer) he would of made it as a player.
 
US Gov't spend $1 TRILLION/year more than they receive (in taxes). So, they issue bonds. Banks buy them and two days later flick them off at a profit to the US Central Bank who pays for them by pushing a button which credits those member banks accounts...et voila. Money out of thin air for the govt, profit for banks. The loser?...the people who don't get first use of all this fresh money...ie the US taxpayer. Inflation is an insidious hidden tax.

Gareth Barry, when hearing all this, and being the fine player he is, will probably choose to sign for Everton

So...Gar Bar would like this story.

You familiar with the Donald Sterling stuff? If not read up on it...CliffsNotes version: Owner of an NBA team valued at $500-600 mil (was likely to be sold for $1bil in a bidding war). Made extremely racist remarks...the Commissioner (head of the league) stepped in and banned him from the NBA and forced the sale of his team. The team was just bought for $2 Billion by Steve Ballmer. Talk about inflation...or inflating the value of ALL sports clubs. That Sterling guy was going to sue the NBA for $1 bil...part of the deal of the sale is that no litigation will be sought after. I smell a $1 billion hush/cover up. Apparently Sterling had dirt on other owners from what I've been hearing on the local radio. The valuation versus the actual sale price could cause a giant bubble in sport...it will pop. I mean...nobody would pay 300% above market value for a house, would they?

And yes Kopites...Sterling is a racist. The one named Donald.

Went to school with Raheem we are the same age he was at our school for 2 years at Rainhill he arrived from QPR, we have the LFC academy there so a lot of lfc players go there, during P.E heard him make a few jokes about FOBS if that counts. I'm also not bull shitting either Google the school he went to, i can't prove the FOB jokes like but they are also true.
 
And here's the main problem, I'm sure Gareth Barry will agree..

Prof Werner is also critical of the UK's concentrated banking structure - which he argues has made the economy more vulnerable. "British banking is dominated by a small number of big banks - with just five banks controlling 90% of deposits," he says.

"Big banks want to lend to big firms and do big deals that give big bonuses. Small firms are too much hassle, and the banks are absolutely not interested - even though small firms need the credit and account for 70% of UK employment. So these small firms are credit-rationed and that's a problem."

"In Germany, 70% of deposits are held by 2,000 banks," says Prof Werner. "These local German banks lend a lot more to small- and medium-sized firms, and when the credit crunch happened most of them were fine."
