Seriously, if they are going to just destroy the money

I still can't tell if you're this retarded, or if you are failing at trolling.

You understand how currency works right? It's a representation of national wealth as well as international fluctuations. Printing too much money and then circulating it into the public would just result in inflation.

Printing a million bucks for everyone to use would just result in people sitting on their asses, with no goods or services produced.

"Money" itself intrinsically is worth no more than the paper its printed on.

Are you a complete retard, or just a dumb *beep*?!

OP, I don't think you're retarded. I see exactly where you are coming from and I agree. I think the person above is a jerk and I don't ever remember a time where the government handed everyone a million dollars and we all just sat around and did nothing. That never happened, so idk why someone is stating it like its a fact. I know if I had a million dollars right now, I would be using that money for my dreams and I would be putting the money to good use, so that theory is not true for everybody.

However OP, money is just a symbol. It has no value and eventually money will get replaced fully with electronic cards. So what they are really destroying is old, wrinkled, worn out paper that's not worth anything. That's how I like to think of it (it helps me sleep at night) LOL.
