How have countries converted public debt in the past?
Q. Charles P Kindelberger mentions in Manias, Panics and Crashes that large-scale conversions of public debt occurred in 1822, 1824, and 1888. He also says interest rate declines were associated with the public debt conversion. Which countries have converted public debt and what did the creditors get in return? Is it correct to assume the debtor's currency is devalued and the government nationalizes private property to do so?

A. The problem is that 60% of our wealth is owned by the Rothschild and their associated families, and a lot of our dollar is propped up by china. We could just start using Euros slowly and re-issue based on the govt holding commodities. Its gonna be a mess no matter what. I bought gold, grain and Euros, because the dollar might crash.

What is the effect of public housing on the rest of real estate prices?
Q. I hear there is a 3 to 7 year wait for people to get into public housing. A friend of mine is in an apartment that qualifies. My question is, what would happen if public housing were to be entirely eliminated so that the government didn't have any control over that anymore? Or what would happen if there were twice the number of public housing units so that the waiting list was cut down to something like 3 to 6 months? I'm just curious as to the economic repercussions, coming from a very non-economic background. Your opinion please?

A. It would not happen, the economic repercussions with all those people being homeless would be devastating. No one wants that, and we all pay a lot of money to keep that from happening. Doubling the projects (the only actual public housing) would not lower the wait period. The tax burden would be tremendous, likely bankrupt the country, even though it look like Obama is determined to do that anyway. What would more likely happen is the strain on the prison system would be cut way down, as they would release the less dangerous inmates and put them into the projects, which is a lot cheaper then housing them in a prison. Even without the inmates I do not think the wait list would cut down, the amount of welfare fraud would simply… [cont.]
