BUT, BUT, our illustrious fed chair AG just said:
“The record of the past 20 years appears to underscore the observation that, although pressures for excess issuance of fiat money are chronic, a prudent monetary policy maintained over a protracted period of time can contain the forces of inflation.” and “I have been quite surprised, and I must say pleased, by the fact that central banks have been able to effectively simulate many of the characteristics of the gold standard by constraining the degree of finance in a manner which effectively brought down the general price levels.”

Hmmm; I guess an increase in M3 of 1100% over the last 30 years is prudent and constrained......
