clear, cogent, stern article by Ingram (nice)
my takeaway...

According to some estimates, M1 -- a measure of money supply -- has been growing at an annual rate of close to 30 per cent over the past few months. "What Japan has shown us is that the way to fight deflation is to get rid of overcapacity as fast as you can," Merrill Lynch market strategist Richard Bernstein said recently. "The Fed is doing the exact opposite now. What the Fed is doing is keeping the oversupply situation intact by lowering the cost of capital."

Bernstein is on my short list of "Friends of the Court" which indict economists
he is solid

STOCK BUYBACK
FUNDING PENSION OBLIGATION
