<Agree about monetization but the effect is muted as money sits in banks and not lent out> Monetization is a thin sheet of wallpaper stretched over the grand canyon -- and the grand canyon is the gap between the debt that can be financed within the US and the debt that can only be financed in one of two other ways -- and the two other ways are, 1. Speak polite Chinese, and 2. Print money. The notion that somehow printing money is merely about making banks look they have capital is way off the mark. The purpose of printing money is to hide the fact that we have none and cannot find anybody to lend us anywhere close to what we need. And that is why it is the kiss of death for the dollar -- and the death of the dollar is the ultimate inflation play.
