Buiter is, I don't know, ingesting some kind of crazy stuff, orbiting Jupiter. Put this thought into your matrix: assuming some sort of Treasury collapse, will the stock markets bubble? Is it possible that gold and stocks can go ballistic at the same time as moolah tries to find a place it likes?

Everybody - Willem Buiter, the author of the article is well regarded in most Central Bank circles. MY guess is he is proposing these far out ideas as a means of making the more aggressive conventional ideas seem acceptable. The conventional ideas mentioned in the top of the article sound more reasonable, now, don't they. Let's have Timmy G write a nice check to everyone in the US. That now sounds pretty good. It is also more politically acceptable than more government spending, has precedents from previous administration, and ACTS FAST. Structural fixes will have to come latter.
