Recent events in both France and Greece would seem to favor easy money or, as we like to call it here, quantitative easing. Both elections appear to nod to that strategy which may be perceived here as an endorsement of more printing. Both Krugman and Reich are on record as 'in favor'. The real question may be- will that precipitate inflation or just prop up a crumbling economy? Obviously printing money is by definition inflationary but creative/correctable government statistics together with the fear of a crashing stock market may well result in a flush of newly printed money and the appearance of low to no inflation. Bernanke has hinted several times that nothing is off the table including more easing. If he were to announce that we will twist again like we did last summer then Romney and Obama may find something they can really argue about.
