But not to worry, once again the Federal Reserve is coming to the rescue. The Fed has this nifty new tool that allows it to pay interest on cash reserves that private banks park at the central bank.

Some of us remember the Carter late 70's with 14% unemployment, 21% inflation, 16% mortgage rates, gas wars....History repeats itself when we make the same mistakes. Code word for socialism is "leveling the playing field"... Pres Obama and the Dem Congress spending and taxing ourselves out of this economic crisis is insane.

You would think it would drop. Changes to the money supply take time to trickle into the economy. Government employees recently hired will benefit first, buying cheap goods before enflation has an effect. If government is successful in creating inflation by printing fiat dollars, then even the assets it bought at pennies on the dollar will have been a good deal, to be sold later on and at higher prices. Alaska was bought at one time for cheap, even today with a crash it's worth more now then what it was bought for It's interesting to note that during this bust, rent for housing has increased.

I don't think that it is a coincidence that so many of his cabinet selections had committed embarrassing crimes; that he has tried to have his stimulus package passed before the people would discover the political rewards hidden in the package; that he is attempting to correct our economy not with proven successful policies but instead with a short-term stimulus that Japan attempted about 8 times and only ended up in an inflation. What is with the people that they continue to support the President when it is so clear to so many that something smells. Well the stink will only get worse.
