>>>Question is when or can they monetize the back end into perpetuity without ramifications that so far only show up in our plummetting dollar?<<< The kinds of increases in MZM and M2 that have been recorded lately --if continued-- usually translate into very high inflation rates about eighteen months or so later. Possibly because of the credit inflation, the rise of oil and gold prices, and the rise of food prices, inflation will accelerate sooner than that. As someone else posted, the almost total lack of attention to such issues in the national election campaigns is astonishing. Maybe because McCain admits that he know nothing about economics there seems no need to challenge him on that yet. Maybe either the Obama or Clinton strategists are considering ways to make economics an issue. I think that if Obama would make a few quiet statements asserting his intention to try to undo the damage done by Bush, it might help him. But my political instincts are very poorly developed.
