Maybe government inflating a currency ... would force you to do something productive?
If you hold currency, you have normally already done something productive to earn it. Holding the currency just lets you exchange it later for the fruits of someone else's production, at a rate representing what the currency it's worth to that producer.
You want the government to "force you to do something productive". Do you not see the irony here? The government is the most unproductive entity, taking its money by threat of force.
But that was in the past, you are now in the present. If you cut down a tree and made boards, those boards may now be rotten.
No, i don't think government should be involved in currency, the dollar, euro, ruble should be destroyed.
