All rights reserved @'it's not like in the 30's when they intentionally took the money away...' like i said before, this assertion does not jibe with the facts. free bank reserves increased by over 400% between late 1929 and early '33, a sign that the Fed's printing presses were indeed running hot. also, the inflationists can NOT explain what happens in Japan, can they? after all, the BoJ has been printing money like crazy for well over 10 years now, and it just keeps sloshing around in MM funds, unused...or is wasted by the government on white elephant projects. when you know about a neighborhood that is visited by one of those money helicopters don't hesitate to let us know. so far, the modus operandi of the CBs is the same as it always was....and the US money supply has begun to shrink, i.e. there's now deflation in the actual broad money measures. it will get worse. also, i don't think that China's boom/bust cycle is not important for us - China is the world's largest manufacturer of goods. what happens there is probably VERY important for the rest of us.
