Mish, the Fed & not printing
I can't seem to get my layman's head around this subject.
Some articles state that the Fed has a budget. Does that mean they have limited resources?
And yet, Ben has stated in the past that they have the printing press.

My impression is that "if" they print/inject dollars into the system they have to trade those dollars "for" something, and thus not "creating" dollars. Is this kinda correct?

OT, are you still taking pictures?
