Paper money, commodities (including gold and silver--nothing special about them at all), property, it's all a shell game. Whenever money is created it results in profits from the banks that created it plus more debt than money for the rest of us. The system demands that we who do not create the money go bankrupt periodically to cancel the debt out of the system to make it work a little while longer.
I sent this to Steed last week and I think it's still the best way to say it:

The more I learn, the more I learn that there are no differences between the economic systems of the US, UK, Germany or even China. They all work the same way, with the bankers creating all the money in circulation, taking a cut off the top right when the money is fresh and at maximum value, building wealth, based on OUR debt, which is always a multiple of the wealth created. Then they insulate themselves from responsibility for that debt, leaving us to crash and burn periodically to justify the system for a short while longer.

Think about it. Debt is the basis of every piece of currency in all our systems. And the debt must always exceed the value of every dollar in circulation.
