C2, those comments by Green$pan KBE are completely consistent with all that he has said and done before. He did not invent the fiat US$ detached from gold and at the whims of politicians and electorates. He was simply given the job of managing it which was a reasonable job for him to accept. He did reasonably well though I did think he left interest rates to enhance the political prospects of his favoured politicians and even if that wasn't what he did, he misjudged the lowering in Y2K and misjudged the increase in the era of Mindless Zombies going berserk on houses, the price of which always goes up, just like gold. It is trite to say that people are buying gold because they distrust fiat money run by governments. Him saying that is hardly untoward and not at all out of character. Mqurice
