You wrote: no such thing as printing too much money, got it You're arguing against the idea that you can never print too much money. I want to know where Krugman (or Obama) suggested that. Barring that -- 'cause you won't find it -- are you arguing that we're already at the upper limit of how much money can be printed before the negative outcome is worse than what we're already facing? We're approaching 10% unemployment, the employment-to-population ratio is at its worst point in decades, foreclosures show no sign of slowing. All of that is already happening. What possible result of printing more money do you fear so much that even the risk of it outweighs the existing, real hardship people are facing? -- Drew

Krugman and the current admin are arguing that we should and could do the same types of things. If you notice about the prior example, it didnt melt down all at once, things looked okay for a while then it came apart very quickly. Printing money and handing it out to the already well off doesnt do much for the economy except make the dollar already weaker than it is. Out of all of the money spent, where did it end up? Almost all went straight into the profits of the financial sector which doesnt do a dam thing for the working class Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep
