She obviously does not understand how a monetary system actually works.

Stop and imagine the deeper ramifications in the monetary food chain. Think of the Banking / Wall Street extended melt down due the Housing Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac issue just 12+ years ago?

The results of this stupidity could be that, combined with a 1920's type Mega-Depression and lasting 10+ years.

#2 Did she also seek to cancel property taxes and assessments?

Oh, that's right, to commies, you do not have personal property, it belongs to the state. You merely enjoy their benevolence in allowing you to think you do.

#4 Reparations (in one form or another) are a done deal. We cannot continue to have dedicated democrats leaving the reservation.

She's learned a lot about graft and taking other people's money in the decade or so she's been here, NN2N1.

Wrote an Article on the History and Fallacy of Civil War Reparation Promises.

It is way too long for here as a comment.

Summarized:
While some have said 40 Acres and a Mule would cost America at least $6.5 Trillion in today's money.

The real figure should be based the purchase prices at the time of the unauthorized promise by Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865 and adjusted for inflation.

1 ac. @ $7.00 x 40 acres = $280.00
1 working Mule age 3 years of age = $75.00
Total high value = $355.00 in 1865 dollars, or according to a popularly used internet inflation calculation app the $355.00 in 1865 would equal about $5,468.89 in 2018 US Dollars. Lets call it $6,000 for 2021.

Yes that means $6,000 divided over the whole now living family of a former proven slave between 1807-1865. note: 1807 is when the US banned the import of slaves.

Because Reparations is an inherited amount, it is divided among the living family, not multiplied.

NOT, each and every Black American, simply because of the MILLIONS of later African and other Non-Africa Dark Skin immigrants long after the 1900's. But only those that can PROVE their family's line dates back to actual US Slavery between 1807 to 1865. That figure would be about 2.5 Million in number able to prove properly dated slave lineage. Or less than about $15 Billion at the top end.

Then there is the question of the Taxes to pay for Reparations. How do you tax "others" based ONLY on RACE and/or tax those that arrived after 1865 in the USA having no responsibility for slavery? Or those that fought against it in the Civil War?

#8 Simpler: each drop of bondsman's blood = blood drawn by sword (A.Lincoln's formula).
650,000 Civil War dead = ~1 trillion drops of bonsdmen's blood.

Debt: Paid in Full.
