If money should grow on trees, would the world be a better place?

Nope. If you're talking about US dollars, then the money would be inflated extremely quickly and useless, and the US would fall into ruin.

If resources grew on trees, however, that would be amazing, especially food. Food already does though, ironically.

Can you imagine a steak tree? That's be interesting, depending how long you let it "ripen" is how done it is.

That sounds delicious. Plus, you could be a vegan and still have steak.

You know its hard to agree or disagree. But in all honesty. If the us produced money trees then the money would be quite useless. Sense we already print money (or make more than we should) we have lost all value in the US Dollar.

What do you mean "lost all value in the US dollar"? Since 2010 the dollar's value has been climbing steadily.

ummm what if restrictions are placed on those trees of money. like the way you need some papers that proves permit to mine. We are governed by rules, and so not because money came in abundance we turn to behave like we are in the animal kingdom lol......we are actually animals in chains of constitution...ukr?lol

No, because it would devalue currency to almost no value, resulting in over-harvest of the money leaves by desperate people worldwide, ultimately killing most of the trees, and disrupting carbon sequestration and ultimately killing us all as well.

The only way this would work is if it grew on only one tree and it was a bonsai I kept in my basement.

That does sound like a cool concept for a movie is money that grows off of someone's tree.

Yeah but they'd probably cast Seth Rogen as me and James Franco as the Bonsai money tree and it would end up stupid funny instead of normal funny.

You are making reference to the high CO2 levels in the atomsphere that your government claims exist.

Money does grow on trees. Plant an apple tree and sell the apples. Boom money grew on the tree. The saying makes absolutely no sense. When was the last time you saw anyone cleaning up after a tree and being happy about it. Getting the money from the tree would be hard work and people would still not want to do it.

yh....lol... economic wise...but am talking about this being real. when u walk around and see actual specific currencies on trees
