<The idiot Central Bankers had better stop this insane inflation printing or it will get so ugly. US has avoided such due to reserve currency and printing to feed and house the straving masses; but for how much longer can this continue?> Economists have worried about these things for literally decades and ignored as human nature is so short term... more important to party apparently. :)) Just as Carter was blammed for his economy (as if oil prices going from 50c to $30 has nothing to do with it) and Reagan applauded for the recovery (even though Carter appointed Volker if I remember right) and Clinton for not running a deficit (well, hell... I thought you were supposed to run surplus during boom!??) the villification of Obama in no surprise... nor will the same treatment heaped on Republican congress for stopping the merry-go-round BUT crashing the market and doubing unemployment. IT's all been coming for decades... this whole shrill polarized political stuff would be good theater if it was just a movie. Too bad. DAK
