WARPED MEANINGS OF WORDS

Take the word ‘stimulate,’ as in ‘stimulate the economy. It really just means ‘print up money.’ But calling it what it sounds like is bad. Politicians do not want to say ‘print money.’ So they use terms like ‘stimulate’ and ‘quantitative easing’ instead.”

Take the word “factoid”. Too often people use the word ‘factoid’ interchangeably with ‘fact.’ Most people think factoid means factual in nature or to some degree more or less factual but factoid actually means it looks like a fact, but is not. It is a phony, made-up fact which is what the suffix ‘-oid’ means.”

Take the word “policymakers” substituted as a positive spin instead of using its true socialist leaning meaning which is “central planners” when the mainstream media discusses U.S. monetary issues. Anyone who believes in free markets would never favor the federal controls of central planning with its excessive taxation and loss of basic freedoms that go along with it.
