Even though I'm not an economist, I'm pretty sure that the US government can print money. http://bit.ly/aeq5
The govt is printing huge amounts of money now. The press isn't reporting it. Those are two fairly important things most people don't know.
It's been pointed out that the Fed can invent money too. It's true, they can.
No way to say this nicely: The economy has changed. Your thinking has to change too. This makes some people angry, and they yell at me. OK.
Printing money now may be a good thing. I would do it if I were in charge. It's not inflationary in times of deflation, which is NOW.
The way I put it: "We're having a word wide going out of business sale." It's that serious. Clearance sale time. Everything must go.
The thing that *is* bad is that the journos aren't making the adjustment. They're questions reflect an inaccurate view of reality (ie lies).
No one knows what 2 years from now looks like. Everyone assumes it will reboot, but no one knows how it will. "It always has" --> hmm.

One more question, does it seem very very quiet to anyone else on FriendFeed?? (It could just be that way for me, that's why I ask.)
