>force everybody to accept your devalued currency at gun point?
Well, yes, welcome to fiat currency. This is literally what backs it. This is its value. If there were no men with guns to enforce its monopoly, there would be no value.

Luckily our government unconditionally sends billions to Israel every year (war or no war) so they aren't burdened by such moral standards.

My apologies if I'm wrong but with the message and username this reads to me as "Hey, fellow gentiles, isn't crippling debt and interest great because 'we' are so awful and deserve it?"

Do many Americans not recognise an Indian accent? Surely there are many of them in New York, even if you aren't familiar with their accent from call centres and the frequent scam calls?
My advice to my mum remains the same: if an Indian is on the other end of the line, hang up immediately. Call that racist if you like, but it effectively filters out 99% of scammers so perhaps the problem isn't with my pattern recognition.
