Get an interview to rebut that article

oh, so unless somebody gets an interview with Bernanke you "win".
no worries.

per reliable sources, Bernanke is really losing a lot of sleep over this critical SI debate. every new post on the matter is anticipated with bated breath by the entire financial world. without a proper rebuttal, he risks losing the confidence of overseas central bankers and all of Wall Street.

it's put up or shut up time for Bernanke!

i'm sure if somebody will just send Old Ben an email he will whisk them up to the Fed in one of his many helicopters to do the interview pronto.

Ask your friend to provide a clear definition of inflation -- he can choose from on of the following three definitions (beginning with yours) or he can use his own words.

1. Inflation is an increase in money supply and credit.

2. Inflation is a persistent increase in the level of consumer prices or a persistent decline in the purchasing power of money, caused by an increase in available currency and credit beyond the proportion of available goods and services.

3. Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling.

>>>Did he propose a "helicopter drop"<<<

No, he did not. He said that if you dropped money from helicopters it would cause inflation.
