MM, I am in the same boat as you. However the solution that you suggest is not what I support. That money Bernanke is printing should go to lifting the unemployed. If it is not doing so, then we need to fix the system to ensure that. My question: why is the system set up such that the money goes to Wall St. Why should the system not be changed to go to the Govt. with a specific mandate that it be used to create jobs by allocating them to infrastructure projects etc. Not for war and unemployment benefits.

Al Jazeera USA started broadcasting yesterday. Comcast, my cable TV provider is carrying it and I watched it for some considerable length of time. I like the international flavor of its reporting. From some of the news segments I saw there, I did some Internet searches and the impact to the world economy if Bernanke stops printing money is quite interesting. I thought I should share these few links if they interest you. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-06-03/infosys-founder-murthy-returns-and-faces-u-dot-s-dot-visa-shock?campaign_id=otbrn.bw.tech http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323423804579024712234377996.html http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/22/business/global/rupee-suffers-another-record-low.html
