yes, they are pumping like CRAZY. this has to be the biggest monetary inflation of all time...racing headlong toward the cliff as it were.

it goes to show that it takes more and more fiat money to reliquefy the faltering bubble, and imo there are only two possible outcomes, A) the reliquefication attempt succeeds in blowing the bubble up again, in which case commodity prices would skyrocket, or B) it fails, and we're already in a liquidity trap situation.

i would submit that there's a crucial difference between what's happening now and prior to y2k. back then, the economy was still overheating, and in fact expanding very fast. NOW it is tanking, and it is taking the weak borrowers down at incredible speed. so things may well be 'different this time'.
