So true but this would bail out the bankrupt airline and auto industries as well as the federal gov't, underfunded SS & pension plans. Wages also would rise and the coastal housing bubble would collapse all good things long term. If Greenspan was so adept at protecting his banker friends he did an awful job navigating the waters during the S&L fiasco.

Two problems

1) I am not sure wages would rise (in fact I am sure they would not)

2) I doubt Greenspan give much a hoot about anything other than his banker friends

Not necessarily, most of the liquidity would flow to sectors already inflating (ie, basic materials, commodities) which would result in much higher input prices, to the point where airlines and autos would still be priced out of reach of consumers and/or remain unprofitable. Treasuries would be crushed and in all likelihood there would be a massive currency crisis. "Dollar Ben" was just kidding when he said all that.....<G?>
