>> too much money chasing too few goods << That assumes there is a "right amount" of money and a "right amount" of goods or that you KNOW the right amount ... The thing is: easy money means overproduction of a lot of assets that aren't necessarily productive or needed --> at the expense of invesetment in the (capital goods) means to produce other goods Can only mean one thing -- prices will go up to ration the goods that will be "under-produced" in the coming months and years due to the distortions produced by the credit boom ... Houses aren't going to cost a lot more any time soon -- But get a clue -- you'll continue to absorb price rises at the grocery -- no matter who does the lying that produces the statistics that say otherwise ... Likewise you will continue to absorb price rises in other areas where there has been underinvestment -- Heck, if you're correct -- that printing money doesn't send the value of goods down (in that currency) -- we can just make everybody better off by printing money -- the Fed is doing the right thing -- more money w/no price rises -- presto: everyone is better off -- nonsense. Where do I get in line @ the IMF to buy gold to help the poor people?? sheesh ...
