Once all that new money they keep creating ignites, it's going to be one helluva ride A club sandwich and a beer might cost $185 to celebrate Dow 20,000 by the time the ride is over, but owing $650,000 against your trailer won't be a big deal anymore because your average 2BR double-wide will cost $2 million. And the US stock indexes will be leading the world in percentage gains too, just like the stock market in Zimbabwe did for several years -- one need only look at what great shape they're in these days to see what a fine strategy money creation is Yep, Hank and Ben have got it all figured out
