Why is it not allowed to just keep on manufacturing money so that everyone in the world will have enough?

i agree in another country they throw flour to each other  i also think that they should send the food they are going to waste like that to asia or africa or any of those countries where you see that people doesn't have anything to eat or even clean water to drink. we should never forget that god gave us this earth and everything in it is for everybody. same with rich people i'm not saying all of them but the mayority, they are multi millionaire, why couldn't they take a few million dollars and send some food to those countries, instead you see them buying real expensive cars and houses, they only think about themselves nobody else.  We have to stop thinking about ourselves a little and start thinking about everybody else. lets say you and your children are starving wouldn't you like that at least somebody will give you food for your kids. put yourselves in that position. think of what those people have to go thru seeing their love ones die because they don't have nothing to eat.  seeing their own children die of diseases and starvation, and some of us that have everything we complaint  that is not enough . just think about it.

I am assuming that you are speaking of the National Debt that is well over 8 trillion dollars.  Probably the best answer would be that under our current tax system we never will.  We have become a Nation that everyone lives on credit so it is natural for our nation to do the same thing.  Much of our debt is backed by the Public the rest is held by the Government.  The Government uses assets to back money that is loaned to them by institutions.  The Public part of the Debt is the larger part and that is backed by U.S. Savings Bonds purchased by the little guy to Treasury Bonds bought by the rich, pension plans, corporations, foreign companies and foreign governments.  The biggest question about this system is just how much control does the foreign ownership of our debt control our foreign policies towards the countries that hold a large portion of our debt.  There have been many decisions that have been made by our government that we do not understand as to why one country is okay to live one way while their next door neighbor is suspect and pressured by us.  I don't have the answer, but personally I do not like the idea that foreign governments can buy our government on the open market so to speak, however as a Nation we do not have the Wealth to hold all of it internaly.  We have loaned money to almost every country in the world especially during Wartime we have always carried the biggest chunck financially.  Virtually all of these debts have been forgiven just as we asked the world to forgive Iraq's debt to other countries in order for them to have a reasonable chance of making it on their own.  This should be our top issue in politics, yet it is always obscurred by other less important issues such as war that are used to make the public forget about the National Debt.  Our elected leaders would prefer that we remain in the dark as to how all of this is run.  We can all make a difference by buying Savings Bonds, however only about 2% of the debt is covered by that so do not expect it to make a big difference, but everything we do does help.  We need to have a National Lottery or Sweepstakes with all the profits going towards paying off our National Debt.  There is also an address where you can send donations to go directly towards the debt at the site of U.S. Savings Bonds Online if you really want to donate beyond your taxes.  I assume most people don't and would rather as the politicians wish not understand the issue.

Cause all countries are not equal... And I'm not talking just language. Economic opportunities, the cost of living, wealth distribution, and much more would never allow this to work in the current state of the world. I guess what I'm saying there really isn't a globalized world yet, cause in reality none of that is being exchanged perfectly. If free movement was allowed it'd be chaos, whole economies would be brought down. A lot of people would move in search better life, higher incomes, education, heck even visit, I'm sure a larger part of countries in Africa, countries of India, China, multitudes of other would experience a huge loss of population as they are still working on their economies and appropriately not everyone is content. \nAnd, to those who object to this, because they say everyone would move to US, that is not true. Many if they had the choice would not choose to live here. As long as an individual can make a decent living in his own country he is not uprooting his whole family to move to a country whose lifestyle he often resents just to make money. Money is not all that matter. Many would choose to come here and work, yes, but most of them would also go back and use that money in their country instead and live comfortably. Which is yet another flaw in free movement, as you proposed, we don't even have a currency that is equalized, and tons of people would be taking advantage of that...

All countries in this day and age, in my belief, must make money to survive but of course they go far beyond that. Usually at the expense of their own citiznes. You should be aware that they can & do, do anything they can get away with.

Because that would make everyone in the world more greedy.  If everything was free, people would think there was no problems, but there would be.  It's true when people say money makes the world go 'round, because there would be no love for other people.  People would just care about the free stuff, not each other and their health.  Does that answer your question?

because if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.  It's just like people with money, the more they have, the more they want...

Because if too many people farmed, then farmers could not earn enough money, and they would all quit. As for starving people in other countries, I know it is sad, but farmers will only harvest what they can sell for a satisfatory profit. Unless someone is paying them for the crops, they will not grow it. Its one sad part of the world we live in.

you already are you just don't know it .the ruling class of the world has many people in many nations including canada so as much as they can profit from frenidly governments  and cheap labor is as much help as the people get. A basic infrastructure and education is needed to provide business with a stable and functioning labor pool to draw from . A basic rule of thumb is how much do i have to give workers in-order to recieve maximum return on my original investment. medicine is the first tool to arrive as saving there children seems to make them more greatfull and willing to be lead by corprate greed. so in a sense we you and me are all helping the world  become a better place to live in, slowly.all these bleeding heart liberals saving the world are paving the way for corprate take over no country we have helped has not been exploted for natural resources animal vegtible or mineral it all comes down to greed if you give a little you can get alot in return. Give all you want it always comes back to you .notice tax dollars pave the way for corporations in america and a new imaggrant labor pool is always ready to assume the lowest paying jobs so people who have taken advantage of the education and better living standards can move up the ladder never really able to reach the top in large numbers only so-many cheifs needed and lots of indians pardon my analogy no malice twords minoitys meant .

Why not have enough for both? Why not make both? Instead of using money on stupid sh*t (you can think of a lot of things are money is going to waste on), we can make more swamps to control floodings, and it will also help out our eco system.

Because honey they got all the money.Money comes with POWER.something that we would all like to have however it seems to flow freely to the chosen few.

I think its fun but seriously, we could be thinking and using the money for important things that we need in life.  For example gas. prices are too high and it could run out. So we should come up with something to help us all whether it be gas, medical or food.. We need to survive.

My problem is that we live in the only country in the world who DOES NOT NEED ANY BODY'S HELP. We have it all. Yet, a little country like Japan who has no natural resources but for fishing industry, is beating us in the economy by 26.64%\nIt is not how much money you make, but how much money you save. How in a household, like that in a country too. If we pay so much in taxes of every kind, that this country would be a really model in every way if the money was put back in it. why do we have to spend all of it on stupid wars. If we did not go to war for only 5 years, we would have so much money, we could create jobs for 70% of all the army. This is a horrible the way we are.\nSwitzerland, Australia, all are doing better than us, and those are the ones that never go to wars. I hope our next president is a pacifist.

They imagine that our fate is tied to that of the rest of the world. It is probably very little money compared to the numbers flowing through. Security in the world means less problems that will come to us. As a world leader we must somewhat appease the envy and jealousy that many have for us even if it can be costly. Fighting diseases in other places is also in our interest to stop before it becomes an epidemic that affects us directly or stews and grows mutating into something far more deadly to us all.

There are no limits on the amount, but there are limits on what can be done with it.\n\nI can think of no reason why it should be limited.

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have
