Fleck's thoughts... He's right about stuff in principle, but
usually underestimates bull moves by a wide margin and often
misses the positive side - so negative all the time. I think
he misses the fact that one can work out excesses through
printing as a function of time, at least in principle,
which is how our economy has been "working". -g-

Can we drastically reduce unemployment by printing? "Yes, we
can" <G> Hell, chronic inflation can have 100% employment.
He's right about this 100%, otherwise all Zimbabwe folks would
be really rich.

Prosperity is not 'printable'

America is now well down the path of trying to print its way
to prosperity. Of course, the reason we are trying to print
our way to prosperity is because initially, in the late 1990s,
we tried to speculate our way to prosperity via the stock
bubble. After that didn't work, we attempted to borrow our way
to prosperity during the real-estate bubble.

Those two bubbles ended in the epic disaster of today. Now the
United States and other countries will attempt to print their
way to prosperity, which also won't work.

But we are in the early stages of papering the world with
dollar confetti, and it's unlikely to "not work" just yet.
