I was explaining the fiat currency system to the littles the other day, and started out by saying “Hey! What if we could make our own money and use it to buy real stuff?” The littlest little wandered off but the older littles and I had a good and interesting conversation. They decided at the end that it would be fun but not a good idea, because everything would be bought and when there was no more stuff it would make everyone mad.
About this time the littlest little came back in the room with a pile of money. She cut out rectangular shapes and decorated them with stars, princesses, backward dollar signs and lots of digits. I think her smallest bill was $10000000000000. Her plan is that we should go to Walmart and buy: a mansion, a boat, all the candy, princess underwear and a baby goat.
Her plan makes more fiscal sense to me than most of what is happening in our nations financial system. #TeamWalmart.
