That's the bottom line - none of the measures show any indication that the Money Supply is contracting.

As you can see, we can try to make a case that the money supply might be growing more slowly - but it's far from convincing.

If housing collapses then we'll certainly see a big decline in money supply - just as we'll see a definite slowing in the money supply growth if the Fed gets serious about raising interest rates. But so far the Fed is just blowing a bunch of hot air.

The decline in the November Consumer Credit may indeed presage a change in the Money Supply data to be released next month.

If the Fed raised interest rates to 14% tomorrow, yet the money supply remained unchanged, I'm confident I could still borrow money around 5%.
